“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 standing and sessional orders - which are the procedural rules of parliament - in order to let another motion be voted on.

Amendment text
