October 2024 brought twelve divisions across six sitting days as the Commons settled into the new session, with around 5,900 votes cast. Two motions were carried and ten rejected.

Energy was the most divided-on topic of the month. Notably, the month passed without any recorded rebellions — every party's MPs voted with their majority on the divisions held.
