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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: Motion relating to Lords Reason 11B Aye: Support the government's revised compromise amendments in lieu of Lords changes, accepting Labour's modified positions on youth diversion consultation requirements, fly-tipping vehicle seizure powers, and antisocial behaviour enforcement guidance, and clearing the way for the Bill to receive Royal Assent. · No: Prefer the Lords' original amendments on these issues, arguing the government's 'may' language on statutory guidance is too weak and that stronger mandatory duties — particularly on youth diversion consultation and fly-tipping enforcement — are needed to make the legislation effective. | 295 | 157 | Yes |
| 20 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: Motion relating Lords Reasons 359B and 439B Aye: Support the government's compromise amendments in lieu of Lords changes, accepting softer statutory guidance rather than mandatory duties on police consultation and enforcement proportionality, and backing the bill's overall package on crime and policing. · No: Prefer the Lords' amendments, which would have imposed stronger legal requirements — such as mandatory consultation before youth diversion orders and stricter rules on fining for profit — rather than relying on non-binding statutory guidance. | 294 | 160 | Yes |
| 20 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: Motion relating to Lords Amendments 2D and 2E Aye: Support the government's compromise amendments in lieu of the Lords' versions, accepting Labour's revised positions on anti-social behaviour enforcement, fly-tipping powers, youth diversion consultations, and public order — and sending the Bill forward to Royal Assent. · No: Prefer the Lords' original amendments, arguing the government's compromise wording (using 'may' rather than binding duties) does not go far enough on protections such as mandatory consultation before youth diversion orders and stronger fly-tipping enforcement tools. | 295 | 160 | Yes |
| 20 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: Motion relating to Lords Reason 342B Aye: Support the government's compromise amendment on youth diversion orders, which requires statutory guidance to address wider consultation, rather than the Lords' more prescriptive mandatory consultation duty. · No: Prefer the Lords' stronger position — that police must be under a firmer, statutory obligation to consult relevant parties before seeking youth diversion orders, rather than relying on guidance that 'may' address the issue. | 295 | 63 | Yes |
