Michael Payne, the Labour MP representing Gedling, announced a temporary leave from Parliament due to illness, stating he is receiving ongoing medical treatment and must rest as advised by medical professionals. His parliamentary participation will be limited as he misses upcoming votes, despite expressing frustration about being unable to represent his community. He reassured constituents that his office remains operational and staff will continue assisting residents. Payne's last recorded vote took place on July 1 on a welfare bill concerning Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment.
Michael Payne stated, "I care deeply about representing our community and being present for important debates and decisions in Westminster. Being unable to participate fully in this work is not something I take lightly, and it's difficult to be away at a time when so much is happening nationally."
Payne mentioned, "I am receiving ongoing medical treatment and am under strict instructions by medical professionals to rest."
Despite his absence, Payne assured that "his constituency office remained open and his staff continued to support residents."
The last time Payne voted in the House of Commons was on 1 July regarding the Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment Bill.
