The Government was defeated on Wednesday 4 September 2019 on a motion under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 (No.2) calling for an early General Election. I abstained on the vote and the motion was defeated by a majority of 242 (Ayes: 298, Noes: 56). This was well short of the 434 votes required to pass such a motion.
