Government Accountability.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Jul 2026 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill Report Stage: Amendment 3 Aye: Support Amendment 3 to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, proposing a change to how the bill holds public officeholders to account · No: Oppose Amendment 3, preferring the bill as it stood without this particular change to public office accountability provisions | 91 | 324 | No |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill Report Stage: Amendment 199 Aye: Support Amendment 199 to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, the nature of which cannot be determined without debate transcripts · No: Oppose Amendment 199 to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, with the large No majority suggesting this reflects the government's position against the proposed change | 103 | 405 | No |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill Report Stage: Amendment 19 Aye: Support requiring a formal post-legislative review of the public advocate's powers, giving victims and bereaved families a stronger independent voice after major incidents such as disasters or public authority failures. · No: Oppose the amendment, likely favouring the government's own approach (Government new clause 9) as a sufficient alternative, rather than imposing this additional reporting and review requirement. | 105 | 408 | No |

Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Government Accountability” → 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.
