  The motion rejected by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That this House
  :''declines'' to give a Third Reading to the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill because it contains provisions which allow the Government to break commitments it has made under international law, and because it does not have the agreed consent to legislate within the competencies of the devolved legislatures which is contrary to the established devolution settlement.

  * generally prohibits different treatment of local goods vs those from other parts of the United Kingdom 
  * prohibits new checks on goods moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland
  * Expressly makes clear that provisions relating to Northern Ireland have  effect notwithstanding any relevant international or domestic law with which they may be incompatible or inconsistent 
  * provides for consistent recognition of professional qualifications across the United Kingdom
