Any Parliament experts? MPs voting habits.

I was so incensed by the vote on MP's exemption from the Freedom of Information act that I want to see which MPs voted for it.

Does anyone know how to find out which MPs vote for/against particular bills? Is it recorded?

try theyworkforyou.com (think that's it). Agree disgusting. All those ministers and the govt. chief whip. Govt. very unusually brought the bill back after it had been talked out, the bastards. Lords are apparently planning to amend so they are excluded in an attempt to shame the Commons.

And I notice I was clearly so incensed I lost control of my apostrophes

The House of Lords will kill the whole Bill. Not just amend it to make themselves subject to FOI and shame the Commons. It is a Private Members Bill and it is very unusual for the Lords to pass a Commons Private Members Bill at all and especially this late in the Parliamentary session. It would require a lot of good will and cross party backing. Not going to happen. I am not sure why the Press have not picked up on that.
