🛑 Bill failed here — this reading vote failed, and a bill can't proceed past a failed reading. So even though this isn't the third reading, it's the last we saw of this bill: it doesn't get another vote after this one.
🙋 Personal (conscience) vote — MPs voted as individuals rather than following their party's position. These are typically called on moral or ethical questions (e.g. euthanasia, abortion, alcohol law, marriage law), where by convention parties don't whip their members into a single position.
