  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @MP voted aye to allow the referendum on the system for electing MPs to be combined with other elections and referendums being held on the same day.  
  @MP voted no against allowing the referendum on the system for electing MPs to be held at the same time as other elections and referendums. 
  
  The majority of MPs agreed to allow the referendum on the system for electing MPs to be combined with other elections and referendums being held on the same day.  
  
  Mark Harper MP explained during the debate that the purpose of proposing New Clause 20[1] to the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill[2] and its associated schedules, was:
  
  :... to provide that the referendum on the voting system can be combined with the eight different elections or local referendums across the UK that could take place on 5 May 2011. 
  
  The vote was technically on if the Clause ought be read a second time, ie. if it ought continue on its path to becoming law.
