  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye to exclude the period between 31 July and 1 December 2017 from the potential dates for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU
  @ MP voted no not to exclude the period between 31 July and 1 December 2017 from the potential dates for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU  
  
  The majority of MPs voted not to exclude the period between 31 July and 1 December 2017 from the potential dates for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU. The European Union (Referendum) Bill would have continued to require a referendum be held by the end of 2017 regardless of if this particular period was included or not. 
  
  The amendment which was the subject of this vote was moved by Mike Gapes MP and it stated:
  
  :page 1, line 4, after â2017â, insert
  
  :âand not between 31 July and 1 December 2017â
