“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

A motion of no confidence in the speaker:

"That the House has no further confidence in Madam Speaker on the grounds:

(a) that in the discharge of her duties she has revealed serious partiality in favour of Government Members;

(b) that she regards herself merely as the instrument of the Liberal Party and not as the custodian of the rights and privileges of elected Members of the Parliament;

(c) that she constantly fails to interpret correctly the Standing Orders of the House; and

(d) of gross incompetency in her administration of Parliamentary procedure."
