There are 464 MP's not 650, just to add a little correction.
I was going to post what Greg did, the low turnout was because it was a friday and most MP's are in their constituency. I'm not *entirely* sure but if its a private members bill I think it has to be on one of the later days of the week because the early ones (like wednesday) are taken up by other parliamentary business?

Sorry Cyfr but according to the list of MP’s at http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ there are 645 of them, which isn’t 650 odd either.
It was a Private Members' Bill - Introduced by David Maclean
