“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 keeping schedule 1 in the bill. In other words, they voted "that schedule 1 stand as printed."

What is schedule 1?

According to the bills digest, schedule 1 deals with the changes to the giving of notices and other documents:

  • This includes introducing a substantial compliance framework to make clear that strict adherence to the relevant statutory requirements for the provision of documents is not required in all situations.
  • These proposed amendments appear to primarily be aimed at reducing litigation founded on technical or inconsequential disputes over the giving of documents or their precise wording.
