Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

| Date | Motion | Aye | No | Carried |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 Feb 2026 | Draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026 Aye: Support extending carbon pricing to the maritime sector as part of the UK's net zero agenda, accepting that higher costs for shipping and ferries are a necessary part of decarbonising transport · No: Oppose extending the ETS to maritime activities, citing concerns about increased costs for ferry travel to UK islands and questioning the impact on island communities | 362 | 107 | Yes |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026 Aye: Support reducing free carbon allowances in the UK ETS, accepting higher carbon costs as necessary to meet climate commitments · No: Oppose the reduction in free carbon allowances, arguing it raises the carbon tax on businesses and will increase household energy bills | 392 | 116 | Yes |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Infrastructure Planning (Onshore Wind and Solar Generation) Order 2025 Aye: Support making it easier to approve large onshore wind and solar projects through national planning rules, accelerating renewable energy development · No: Oppose removing local planning oversight for onshore wind and solar projects, citing concerns about community control and landscape impact | 309 | 102 | Yes |

Pending — issue-to-service mapping
Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Climate Change” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
