  Transposing European Union Criminal Justice and Data Protection Measures into UK Law - If to make Decision
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted to move straight to a decision on if the UK should actually opt-out of eleven European Union criminal justice and data protection measures. The majority of MPs were voting to reject the alternative option before them which was to stop considering the matter completely, without taking a decision on it. 
  
  The motion rejected by the majority of MPs taking part in this vote was:
  
  :That the Question be not now put.
  
  Once that motion was moved the choice before MPs was to either cease debating, and not decide on, if the UK should actually opt-out of eleven European Union criminal justice and data protection measures or to move straight to a decision.
  
  Just by moving the motion one MP had ruled out the possibility of the debate continuing as the [http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2014-11-10&number=77 previously approved timetable motion would have permitted]. 
  
  The rejection of the proposal the question be not now put was interpreted by the Speaker, according to precedent and inline with statements the Speaker had made on the consequences of such a vote[1][2], as MPs expressing a wish that the question be put straight away.
