Verity has matched 59 recorded divisions to Housing, held between 26 September 2022 and 31 March 2026. 11 of them decided whether a bill should proceed or pass. The other 48 were procedural — orders for the production of documents, limits on debate, and motions to put the question.

The question Verity tracks

Should the government increase housing supply and affordability measures?

A vote is counted as “More housing action” when it matched the direction tagged to that division, and “Less government involvement” when it went the other way — whichever way the motion itself was worded.

How each party voted

Across the 11 divisions that decided whether a bill should proceed or pass, 15 February 2023 – 26 March 2026. Procedural motions are excluded here because a government votes down opposition and crossbench motions as a bloc regardless of the policy, which tells you about the numbers on the floor rather than about the issue. The full tagged list is below.
