  @ MP voted no to continue to debate a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU. 
  
  The majority of Lords voted to curtail debate on a referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union. 
  
  Members of the House of Lords were considering the European Union (Referendum) Bill[1]. The motion approved in this vote was:
  : that the House do now resume.
  
  As a result the consideration of the Bill was suspended.
  
  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erskine_May:_Parliamentary_Practice Erskine May: Parliamentary Practice] states:
  
  :If the committee stage is not completed at one sitting, it is necessary for a Lord (usually a government Whip) to move 'that the House do now resume'. When this motion has been agreed to, the Lord in the Chair leaves the Chair and takes his seat on the Woolsack. The House goes into committee again either later on the same day (on occasions when the House has been resumed in order to take other business) or on a future day.
