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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 18 Aye: Support keeping the 12-month no-re-let period after a landlord evicts to sell, maintaining a strong deterrent against bogus possession claims · No: Prefer the Lords' shorter 6-month restricted period, arguing it is less burdensome on landlords who genuinely wish to sell | 403 | 99 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 39 Aye: Support the government's rejection of the Lords amendment, accepting ministerial assurances and an annual reporting commitment rather than placing statutory Decent Homes Standard protections for service family accommodation on the face of the Bill. · No: Support the Lords amendment requiring military service family accommodation to meet the statutory Decent Homes Standard, arguing service families deserve the same legal protections as private and social renters. | 324 | 173 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 19 Aye: Support the government's decision to reject the Lords amendment, prioritising tenant protections over special flexibility for shared ownership landlords who sublet their homes. · No: Support the Lords amendment, arguing that shared ownership leaseholders in financial difficulty deserve an exemption from the Bill's restrictions and that rejecting it risks pushing some into financial ruin. | 338 | 160 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 11 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords amendment, keeping the ban on additional pet deposits and making it easier for renters to keep pets without paying large extra charges upfront · No: Support the Lords amendment allowing landlords to charge a three-week pet deposit, giving landlords greater financial protection against potential damage from pets | 399 | 95 | Yes |
| 8 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill: Motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 64 Aye: Support removing the Lords amendment, keeping the Bill without a special eviction ground for landlords who need to accommodate a carer — prioritising tenant security over this landlord exemption · No: Support the Lords amendment creating a new possession ground for landlords needing to house a carer, arguing the law should recognise the needs of carers and those who depend on them | 336 | 162 | Yes |

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