Banned MP Norris using proxy vote
Frome Standard
|June 05, 2025
MP Dan Norris has begun using a proxy vote in Parliament to vote on laws while banned from the parliamentary estate.
-
The North East Somerset and Hanham MP, inset below, was arrested in April on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl, rape, child abduction, and misconduct in a public office.
He has not been charged. The investigation is ongoing and he remains on police bail.
He is understood to have been banned from the parliamentary estate. But now he is voting on laws again using a proxy vote - starting with supporting Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying/assisted suicide bill. On May 16, Mr Norris used his proxy vote to support the closure motion to begin the votes on the controversial bill, and voted against an amendment tabled by an MP opposed to the bill.
