“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 the usual parliamentary rules (known as standing orders) to allow a vote to happen. In parliamentary jargon, they voted:

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

This means that they can now vote on whether they want to pass the bill.
