Well no, because it’s not a formal debate on the chamber and there were other matters and the vote at the end isn’t binding, merely an an acknowledgment of a petition being submitted.
If it makes the floor of the chamber, which has a reasonable chance, I’d expect all in attendance as the judgement there would be binding (at least, until such times as Parliament unbound itself).
