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.

| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 2 Aye: Support the government's position of replacing the Lords' statutory ban with non-statutory guidance on how private companies handle fixed penalty notices for anti-social behaviour — rejecting the Lords amendment in favour of a weaker but more flexible approach. · No: Support the Lords amendment imposing a statutory ban on private companies being financially incentivised to issue as many fixed penalty notices as possible, arguing that guidance alone is insufficient to prevent profit-driven enforcement of anti-social behaviour laws. | 299 | 178 | Yes |

Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
