and we saw christopher hope, our political edhon christopher hope, our political editor, talking to conservative mps who then followed them in support of the snp, saying that it was too much of a departure from procedure to be the correct way forward in the house of commons. on a matter of this magnitude. that left labour only on its own to vote on its amendment and there were also lines of news which were coming through that labour was voting on whether or not to sit in private. anyway, we're trying to make sense scene you make sense of this scene for you now the house of commons as now in the house of commons as mps. that half empty mps. and that half empty chamber. or not chamber. consider whether or not the house be voting on the house should be voting on this in private. it's this in private. now, it's a rare step. it hasn't happened. we understand since 2001, and that would force members of the pubuc that would force members of the public to leave and live broadcasts from the commons would also have to stop. so you can imagine how much of a departure from what we're used to seeing in the h
