  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye against the Governmentâs proposals for leaving the EU.
  @ MP voted no in favour of the Governmentâs proposals for leaving the EU.
  
  The majority of MPs voted in favour of the Governmentâs proposals for leaving the European Union.
  
  The debate on the content of the government's legislative programme outlined in the Queens' speech is technically, and traditionally, on the subject of a message of thanks which the house is to send the monarch for making the speech. 
  
  
  MPs were considering the following motion:
  
  :That an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
  :Most Gracious Sovereign,
  :We, Your Majestyâs most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.
  
  the amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :at the end of the Question to add:
  
  :âbut 
  :''particularly regrets'' the Governmentâs intention to use the Immigration Bill to end freedom of movement within Europe;
  :''believes'' that freedom of movement has brought immeasurable social, cultural and economic benefits to the people of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the European Union as a whole; 
  :''further believes'' that freedom of movement should be maintained irrespective of the UKâs future membership status of the European Union; 
  :''notes'' that the Gracious Speech lacked proposals for bills that expand parental leave, protect the NHS, introduce tougher legal targets to address the climate emergency, increase the minimum wage to an equal wage, bring justice to the 3.8 million women born in the 1950s who will be denied their pensions at the proper age, and abolish nuclear weapons; 
  :''further regrets'' that the Gracious Speech does not contain provision to end the freeze of social security benefits or scrap the two-child limit and so-called rape clause attached to child tax credits; 
  :''rejects'' the Governmentâs proposals for leaving the European Union; and
  :''believes'' the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill must not become law unless and until it has received legislative consent from the Senedd and the Scottish Parliament.â
