MPs back Hilary Benn’s Bill to delay Brexit – How every MP voted

MPs back Hilary Benn’s Bill to delay Brexit – How every MP voted

After just two hours’ debate, MPs have given a Second Reading by 329 to 300 (majority: 29) to Hilary Benn’s European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill which would delay Brexit until January in the absence of a deal or approval for No Deal as of 19th October.

329 MPs voted for the Bill (331 if you include the two tellers) including 240 Labour MPs, all 35 Scottish National Party MPs, 30 Independent MPs, all 15 Liberal Democrat MPs, all 5 MPs from The Independent Group for Change, all 4 Plaid Cymru MPs, 1 Conservative MP and 1 Green Party MP.

300 voted against the Bill (302 if you include the two tellers) including 287 Conservative MPs, all 10 Democratic Unionist Party MPs, 3 Independent MPs and 2 Labour MPs.

A further 6 MPs did not vote in the division: 3 Labour MPs and 3 Independent MPs.

The one new Conservative rebel was Caroline Spelman, who had voted with the Government yesterday to oppose seizing the Commons agenda for today’s debate. 20 of the 21 Tory MPs who lost the party whip last night voted for the Bill; the other, Caroline Nokes, did not cast a vote.

Then after less than two hours’ debate at Committee Stage – and confusing scenes where backing was given for an amendment from Stephen Kinnock aimed at reviving a version of Theresa May’s deal without a vote – MPs gave the Bill a Third Reading by 327 to 299 (majority: 28).

327 MPs voted for the Bill (329 if you include the two tellers) including 239 Labour MPs, all 35 Scottish National Party MPs, 29 Independent MPs, all 15 Liberal Democrat MPs, all 5 MPs from The Independent Group for Change, all 4 Plaid Cymru MPs, 1 Conservative MP and 1 Green Party MP.

299 voted against the Bill (301 if you include the two tellers) including 287 Conservative MPs, all 10 Democratic Unionist Party MPs, 3 Independent MPs and 1 Labour MP.

A further 9 MPs did not vote in the division: 5 Labour MPs and 4 Independent MPs.

Clearly the division lists were almost identical. Below is the list from Second Reading, with notes against those who voted differently at Third Reading.
