  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye to allow the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct which, if in-place, would have to be referenced in resolutions to expel or suspend a member.
  @ MP voted no against allowing the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct which, if in-place, would have to be referenced in resolutions to expel or suspend a member.
  
  The majority of MPs taking part voted not to allow the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct which, if in-place, would have to be referenced in resolutions to expel or suspend a member.
  
  MPs were considering the House of Lords (Expulsion and Suspension) Bill[1]. 
  
  The rejected new clause, titled ''Code of Conduct'' stated:
  
  :(1) Standing Orders of the House of Lords may provide for the adoption of a code of conduct.
  
  :(2) A resolution passed by virtue of [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/2014-2015/0151/cbill_2014-20150151_en_2.htm#l1g1 section 1(4)] must include a reference to the relevant provision of any code of conduct which the House of Lords may have adopted and which has not been superseded by a subsequent decision of the House.â
  
  An explanation of the intent of this proposed new clause was provided:
  
  This Clause allows the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct and also requires the application of penalties under this Bill to be linked to that code, if there is one.
