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.

| Conservative and Unionist Party | Con | -14 | 36% on-whip · 107 MPs | |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Crime and Policing Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 334 Aye: Support the government's approach of replacing the existing NCHI code of practice with a stricter national standard, rather than an outright statutory abolition of NCHIs · No: Back the Lords amendment to fully abolish non-crime hate incidents in law, arguing the government's alternative does not go far enough to protect free speech and civil liberties | 357 | 92 | 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.
