“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:

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

In other words, they voted to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - so that they could vote on whether to pass the bill - that is, give it a third reading - immediately.

Because this vote was successful, the House will now consider whether to pass the bill immediately.
