  @ MP voted aye
  @ MP voted no
  
  The majority of MPs voted
  
  MPs were considering the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill[1].
  
  The motion rejected by the majority of MPs taking part in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 128
  
  Lords amendment 128[2] stated:
  
  :Page 49, line 4, leave out paragraph 13
  
  Paragraph 13[3] was titled: ''Parliamentary committee to sift certain regulations involving Minister of the Crown'' and stated:
  
  :(1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if a Minister of the Crown who is to make a statutory instrument to which paragraph 6(3) or 7(3) applies is of the opinion that the appropriate procedure for the instrument is for it to be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
  
  :(2) The Minister may not make the instrument so that it is subject to that
  procedure unlessâ
  :(a) condition 1 is met, and
  :(b) either condition 2 or 3 is met.
  :(3) Condition 1 is that a Minister of the Crownâ
  :(a) has made a statement in writing to the effect that in the Ministerâs
  opinion the instrument should be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament, and
  :(b) has laid before the House of Commonsâ
  :(i) a draft of the instrument, and
  :(ii) a memorandum setting out the statement and the reasons for
  the Ministerâs opinion.
  :(4)Condition 2 is that a committee of the House of Commons charged with doing so has made a recommendation as to the appropriate procedure for
  the instrument.
  :(5) Condition 3 is that the period of 10 sitting days beginning with the first sitting day after the day on which the draft instrument was laid before the House of Commons as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) has ended without any recommendation being made as mentioned in sub-paragraph (4).
  :(6) In sub-paragraph (5) âsitting dayâ means a day on which the House of
  Commons sits.
  :(7) Nothing in this paragraph prevents a Minister of the Crown from deciding at any time before a statutory instrument to which paragraph 6(3) or 7(3) applies is made that another procedure should apply in relation to the instrument (whether under that paragraph or paragraph 14).
  :(8) Section 6(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (alternative procedure for certain instruments laid in draft before Parliament) does not apply in relation to any statutory instrument to which this paragraph applies.
  
  
  Parliament's glossary states[6]:
  
  :Negative procedure is a type of procedure that a statutory instrument can go through. A statutory instrument under the negative procedure will automatically become law without debate unless there is an objection from either House. Conversely affirmative procedure refers to a procedure where a statutory instrument must be approved by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords to become law.
