George Galloway MP, Bradford West did not vote.
The majority of MPs voted against a tax on properties worth over £2 million to fund a tax cut for those on middle and low incomes.
The motion rejected in this vote was:
- That this House

- calls on the Government to bring forward proposals for such a tax at the earliest opportunity.
