Order. The ayes to the right, 390.
The noes to the left, 81.

Parliament has shown in both
the Commons and in the Lords
that it is capable of responding
to the gravity and the urgency
of the challenge that
our country faces
and the risks, the very immediate
risks, to jobs, public services
and to families across
the country if we drift.
But none of us could have
imagined we would be in
this situation in the first place.
These are unprecedented
circumstances but also
should serve as no precedent
for the future when,
as we all hope, normal times
might be restored.
