Official title
Motions - Iraq War: 20th Anniversary - Let a vote happen

Noes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

“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 against a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let another motion take place, which means it won't happen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of the matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War.
