“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 the question be now put."

In other words, they were in favour of speeding things along by voting on the question under discussion immediately rather than continuing to speak on it.
