December 2024 kept a busy pace before the Christmas recess: 22 divisions over seven sitting days, with fifteen rejected and seven carried, and roughly 10,100 votes cast.
Tax again led the tagged topics. Some 54 votes were cast against a party majority — a smaller rebellion tally than November's, but still well above the autumn norm.
