Andrea Leadsom
What I can say to the hon. Lady is that I absolutely believe her—I do not think anyone would doubt her for a moment. Anyone who is even considering objecting should beware.
Sir Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)
I welcome this statement. Does the Leader of the House agree that it is right that the absent Member should choose the name of their proxy, rather than the Whips, and that they should have an absolute right to change that name upon giving written notice that they wish to do so?
Andrea Leadsom
My right hon. Friend makes a very good point, and that is indeed the intention.
