The uproar followed a decision to allow a vote on a range of views due to concerns about lawmakers' security. The debate was initiated by the SNP, with Labour and the Conservatives proposing amendments. The outcome, not binding on the British government, had the potential to cause problems for Labour leader Keir Starmer, who is keen to present his party as united.
