It is a pity they did not take into account the number of days people are in this House attending to the democratic duties for which they were elected to attend. On one occasion colleagues entered pairing arrangements due to parliamentary business and missed a day on which there were 12 votes. It appears they missed a substantial number of votes but in fact, they missed only one day. I would like to hear the Leader's comments on that.
