I imagine with the parliamentary maths as they are, a few people may have been excused attendance for one reason or another. I don’t know - when I last posted the details of who voted for what were still coming in. I would be seriously surprised (and unimpressed in the extreme) if any Tories voted against, or were absent without permission, given the centrality of this vote to the election campaign.

Looks like about a dozen Tories didn’t vote. As I said, I’d be monumentally surprised if they didn’t have permission from the whips to be absent.
(Obvs Sinn Fein didn’t vote, but a few SNP and at least one DUP didn’t either).
