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

What was decided

The majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend standing orders so that they could vote on whether to pass the bill immediately.

Because the motion passed, they could immediately vote on whether to pass the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they could vote to read the bill for a third time.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.
