“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 standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely a motion to provide that a motion proposing to vary the order agreed to earlier today may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because this vote was successful, another motion could be introduced and voted on immediately.
