A Dundee MP missed Monday night’s Brexit votes because he was in hospital.
Stewart Hosie, who represents the east of the city, had a health scare before the indicative voting and was taken to see doctors in London.
A source said: “Mr Hosie was taken to hospital and he is now back and recovered.”
The former SNP deputy leader was due to lead the debate for the party ahead of a series of indicative votes.
MPs failed for a second time to agree on any alternative way forward for Brexit, rejecting options including staying in the single market, a customs union, confirmatory public vote and a route to cancelling Brexit altogether.
The closest to winning a majority of the four options was Ken Clarke’s customs union plan, which was defeated by 273 to 276.
SNP MPs abstained on that because they could not support a plan that deprives Scotland of the benefits of the single market.
Stephen Gethins, who represents North East Fife for the SNP, said they backed the Common Market 2.0 because is “now includes full freedom of movement which is essential for our population and our public services”.
Luke Graham, the Scottish Conservative MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, backed the customs union plan, which minimises the need for border checks but restricts the ability for the UK to sign new trade deals.
Mr Graham said it is the “least, worst option” as it protects existing trade deals and addresses concerns of farmers and businesses in his constituency.
But he maintains the Prime Minister’s deal, which may be put to a fourth Commons vote, “offers us the best possible outcome over Brexit”.
Fearing a precedent for a successful new Yes campaign in Scotland, Pete Wishart, for Perth and North Perthshire, defied the SNP whip again to abstain on the confirmatory public vote proposal on any Brexit deal.
Kirstene Hair, the Scottish Conservative MP for Angus who wants Mrs May’s deal to pass, voted against all four options.
Labour’s Lesley Laird, a Fife MP, walked through the division lobby in favour of all four suggestions.
This was the second round of votes held in an attempt to break the Brexit deadlock.
Theresa May hosted a marathon cabinet session on Tuesday to consider a way forward.
