“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 having the vote on whether to pass the bill immediately. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to suspend standing orders, which would normally require a certain period of time to pass before the House can vote on whether to pass the bill.

Because of this vote, there will be no more discussion of the bill in the House, which is why votes like this are sometimes called 'gags'.
