This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Petition Stop MP's voting if they don't attend the debate for 15 minutes before division.

I have observed on many occasions that a majority of MP's who have not been present at debates turn up at the division to vote.
I believe these members cannot come to an informed decision on these matters if they haven't heard from all interested parties.

More details

The Scotland Bill 2015 report stage on the Nov 9 2015. During this debate there were on average 100 MP's in the chamber. Yet when the first division was called on new Clause 1 over 400 to 500 members voted in the division. This continued to be the case during the several divisions that followed.
