“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 disagreeing with a motion to suspend the usual parliamentary procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place. This means that subsequent vote will not take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Dunkley from moving the following motion immediately—That this House:

(1) notes:

(a) the Member for Bowman has reneged on his commitment to resign from all parliamentary positions, and the Prime Minister has failed to force him to do so; and

(b) by refusing to act, the Prime Minister is tacitly endorsing the Member for Bowman's behaviour; and

(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to explain to the House why he has not discharged the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training.
