A full breakdown of how all MPs voted on votes for prisoners
Analysis by Jonathan Isaby
Here's a full party-by-party breakdown of how MPs voted in the division on votes for prisoners last night.
NB: In terms of those who did not participate in the division, clearly I am not able to differentiate between those making a deliberate abstention and those who were simply not in Westminster due to commitments elsewhere, planned or otherwise.
