A programme motion sets the parliamentary timetable for a bill: how long each stage takes, when amendments must be tabled, and when the Commons must conclude consideration. The government uses it to control debate length; opposition parties use objections to it as a way to register process complaints.
Totals are Parliament’s official count, which does not include the tellers. Parliament’s published list names 311 of the 312 Aye voters and 246 of the 248 No voters; tellers are listed and marked but not counted.
