Summary
EditAn absolute majority voted in favour of suspending the usual parliamentary rules - known as standing orders - in order to let a vote on a motion happen.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving general business notice of motion No. 1040, and that it be determined without amendment or debate.

Nobody rebelled against their party.
