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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: Government motion in relation to LA439 Aye: Support the government's position that proscription decisions must remain at ministerial discretion, rejecting Lords amendments compelling a formal review of IRGC proscription · No: Back the Lords in requiring the government to review proscribing the IRGC and Iran-linked groups, citing credible threats to UK national security including plots against journalists, embassies, and Jewish communities | 253 | 145 | Yes |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to agree with all remaining Lords Amendments Aye: Support passing the Crime and Policing Bill with Lords amendments, including new offences on child exploitation, retail crime, spiking, and AI-generated child sexual abuse material, alongside expanded police powers and online safety measures · No: Oppose accepting all remaining Lords amendments as a package, arguing that Lords amendment 312 poses a dangerous threat to civil liberties — including freedom of assembly, expression, and religion — and should be voted on separately rather than buried within a bundle of otherwise uncontroversial provisions | 247 | 23 | Yes |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 334 Aye: Support the government's position: reject the Lords amendment abolishing non-crime hate incident recording outright, backing instead the College of Policing's recommended reform of raising the recording threshold rather than full abolition. · No: Support the Lords amendment: fully abolish the recording of non-crime hate incidents and require future guidance to give due regard to freedom of expression, arguing the government's approach is a rebranding rather than a genuine reform. | 357 | 92 | Yes |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 311 Aye: Support the government's rejection of the Lords amendment, agreeing that a new lower-tier proscription power for protest groups is unnecessary and disproportionate where the terrorism threshold is not met · No: Support the Lords amendment granting the Secretary of State power to proscribe extreme criminal protest groups, arguing stronger tools are needed to tackle persistent criminal protest activity | 301 | 103 | Yes |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 342 Aye: Support the government's position of rejecting the Lords' specific evidential requirements for Youth Diversion Orders, accepting instead non-statutory guidance on considering alternatives — prioritising flexibility in counter-terrorism powers over rigid procedural safeguards. · No: Back the Lords' amendment requiring courts to consider specific evidence before imposing Youth Diversion Orders, arguing this provides stronger legal protection for young people against disproportionate counter-terrorism orders. | 283 | 71 | Yes |

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