Definition

Pairs, in the House of commons, a member who wishes to absent himself from the House may arrange with a member of the opposite party, who also wishes to be absent, that neither shall attend the House, or at least vote in a division, for an agreed time. These members are then said to be 'paired' each being the other's pair', Parliamentary Dictionary, L.A. Abraham and S.C. Hawtrey, 1956, p. 134
