“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 speed things along by ending debate. In parliamentary jargon, they voted "That the question be now put." In this case, the question was on whether to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let a vote on a censure motion happen.
