On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

I ask Members to rise in their places for a minute's silence to mark the sad passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, a truly magnificent and inspirational head of our neighbouring state, whose years of dedicated service are truly without parallel.
