Last week the Centenary Action Group, a coalition of women’s rights activists and organisations, wrote to the Speaker with concerns about the decision to end hybrid proceedings. The letter is here: https://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2020/may/letter-from-centenary-action-group/

He replied: “As Speaker I cannot and should not stand in the way of the will of the House. However, I would like to say that, in my view, all Members entitled to sit in the House of Commons should be able to have their voices heard ...

“ ... in representing their constituents to as great an extent as is possible.

“I am personally sympathetic to those who need to stay at home because they are vulnerable, shielding or have caring responsibilities.

“I have continued to express my view to the Leader of the House that the possibility to participate in the business of the House via hybrid proceedings should remain for these colleagues.

“I very much hope that the Government and Opposition, through the usual channels, can work together to ensure that this happens.” Full letter here: https://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2020/may/speaker-response-to-centenary-action-group/
