Stamford and Bourne MP Gareth Davies and Deepings MP Sir John Hayes vote for tier 3

Stamford and Bourne's MP supported the Government's proposal for the new tier system despite resistance from constituents.

Ahead of the vote Gareth Davies, along with fellow Conservative Sir John Hayes (South Holland and the Deepings) and council leaders, put his name to a letter urging the Prime Minister to reconsider the tier arrangement for Lincolnshire.

But when crunch time arrived at Westminster yesterday (Tuesday, December 1), both voted in support of Boris Johnson's county-based tiers.
