There is a misconception that you must have 349 Members seated any time in the Chamber to transact business. The practice the world over is that because Parliaments are houses of records, everything is on HANSARD. You do not need the entire membership to sit through debates. Any Member who wishes to debate on something usually prepares and rushes from a committee sitting to the Chamber in plenary to contribute to a debate on any Bill or Motion. Therefore, it is not a requirement save for putting the Question and voting, of course. As you know, decisions in the House are usually through votes.
