How did your MP vote on Labour's welfare bill?
Labour's welfare reforms bill has passed, with 335 MPs voting in favour and 260 against.
It came after the government watered down the bill earlier this evening, making a dramatic last-minute concession to the demands of would-be rebel MPs who were concerned about the damage the policy would do to disabled people. The concessions could end up leaving the government with £5.5bn to make up from either tax rises or cuts elsewhere.
See how your MP voted with our lookup: The government has a working majorityi of 166, so it would have taken 84 rebels to defeat the bill. In total, 49 Labour MPs still voted against the bill despite the concessions.
No MPs from other parties voted alongside the government, although three MPs elected for Labour who have since had the whip removed did so. Which Labour MPs rebelled? Last week, 127 Labour MPs signed what they called a "reasoned amendment.
