The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “MPs vote for Boris Johnson’s Internal Market Bill to progress to second reading by 340 votes to 263” – below is their description.
Boris Johnson has passed his controversial Internal Market Bill though its first reading in the House of Commons despite a rebellion from his own MPs.
Former Cabinet ministers including Theresa May, Sajid Javid, Jeremy Wright and Andrew Mitchell said they would rebel by abstaining or voting for hostile amendments.
The Government passed the bill through to the second reading with a majority of 77, with 340 votes to 263.
Sir Bob Neill, a Tory backbencher, has tabled an amendment calling for a final vote in Parliament before minister could use their law-breaking powers under the bill.
It will be debated on Tuesday when the bill is next heard.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
