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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 Mar 2026 | Opposition Day Motion: Oil and Gas Aye: Support the opposition's position on oil and gas — likely backing continued North Sea licensing or resisting restrictions on domestic fossil fuel production · No: Reject the opposition's motion on oil and gas, backing the Labour government's approach of restricting new oil and gas licences as part of its clean energy transition | 110 | 298 | No |
| 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 strategy, accepting higher costs as necessary for emissions reduction. · No: Oppose the extension on grounds that it unfairly burdens island communities — especially Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight — where sea transport is the only option, passing costs onto consumers without viable alternatives. | 362 | 107 | Yes |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026 Aye: Support phasing out free carbon allowances for industry as part of the transition to a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, accepting some cost increases as a necessary step toward decarbonisation · No: Oppose reducing free carbon allowances, arguing it increases the carbon tax burden on British businesses and consumers at a time of financial pressure, without equivalent benefit | 392 | 116 | Yes |
| 17 Nov 2025 | Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill: Committee: Amendment 4 Aye: Support simplifying the reporting burden on organisations by explicitly permitting a single combined report to cover both repository and database obligations under the Bill. · No: Oppose the amendment as unnecessary, arguing the Bill already allows a single combined report without the change, and that adding the provision would be redundant. | 144 | 319 | No |
| 17 Nov 2025 | Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill: Committee: Amendment 5 Aye: Support requiring Parliament to formally approve any regulations enabling ministers to charge fees under this legislation, enhancing parliamentary scrutiny of executive power. · No: Oppose the amendment, accepting the government's view that existing parliamentary procedures are sufficient and that adding affirmative resolution requirements for fee-setting regulations is unnecessary. | 149 | 319 | No |

Pending — issue-to-service mapping
Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Environment” → 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.
