The Speaker or Deputy Speaker would basically say, "I note that party X has opposed the Question. That party's opposition is now on the record; however, I think that the Ayes have it". It would be on the record that party X, A, B, C or D had recorded its vote — well, that it had expressed a vote against. We have had votes today where we had 11 votes in opposition. That is fine, and all Members are entitled to their vote. It is just about how we process the voting mechanisms to save time and allow us to conclude the business. That is all that it is about.
