Passed **67** yes **16** no The question put That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this house refuses to read this bill a second time until adequate time is given to allow full consideration of the anticipated and unintended consequences of changes to the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017 and until further and broader consultation is undertaken.’ **Free vote.** Liberal was split, which usually means members could vote their conscience, so nobody here is counted as voting against their party. ## How each party voted -
