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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 Oct 2025 | Opposition Day: Stamp Duty Land Tax Aye: Support the opposition's proposed changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax, likely to maintain higher thresholds or introduce relief for buyers · No: Reject the opposition's stamp duty motion, defending the government's existing approach to property transaction taxes | 105 | 329 | No |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 53 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords amendment, keeping the existing deposit framework rather than allowing a separate additional pet damage deposit for landlords · No: Support the Lords amendment allowing landlords to require an extra pet deposit, giving landlords tangible financial protection against pet damage and encouraging them to accept pet-owning tenants | 399 | 97 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 18 Aye: Support keeping the 12-month restricted re-letting period to protect tenants from being evicted under false pretences of a property sale, rejecting the Lords' proposal to reduce it to 6 months · No: Support the Lords' amendment to reduce the restricted period to 6 months, arguing 12 months is excessive or overly burdensome on landlords with legitimate reasons to sell | 403 | 99 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 39 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords amendment, trusting the government's alternative plan (a defence housing strategy, £1.5bn investment, and annual MOD reports to Parliament) to improve service family accommodation standards without putting them in the Renters' Rights Bill · No: Support the Lords amendment requiring service family accommodation to meet the new decent homes standard enshrined in the Renters' Rights Bill, providing statutory certainty for military families | 324 | 173 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 26 Aye: Support giving local authorities strong powers to enforce against rogue landlords, rejecting the Lords' attempt to water down those powers in the Renters' Rights Bill · No: Support the Lords amendment that would have restricted local authority enforcement powers over landlords, viewing it as a necessary safeguard | 404 | 96 | Yes |

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