That is:

The Commons is now in recess until 11th November.
Of the 344 divisions held so far this session, 169 would have changed result if seats matched votes. That is, ~49% of the time, opposition MPs represented *more* people but the government won anyway.

Worth adding that this is a (Labour) Lords amendment. It has not yet been debated by the Lords. Their committee/report stage is due to start next week. After that, if accepted, it will return to the Commons.
