“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 against an amendment to the usual second reading motion that the bill be read for a second time, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.

Motion text

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House notes that the Government has cut research funding, interfered in independent, peer-reviewed grant processes and abandoned nation-building investment in education and research infrastructure"
