Process

A bill goes through multiple stages in the commons and the lords before being passed into law. e.g. https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-12/healthandsocialcare/stages.html. Instead of adding data for all Commons divisions on a bill, we should only use a single, final reading of the bill in the commons. The exception to this could be particularly poignant amendments to a bill.

As the House of Commons Divisions data set at data.parliament.uk begins from 27 June 2001, we should only be looking for divisions from that date forward.
