...paper, Brown triumphed in both debates when the measure squeaked through by 315 votes to 306. Yet the government's knife-edge victory saw 36 Labour MPs, including former ministers, oppose the government, and relied on the support of nine members of the Northern Ireland Democratic Unionist Party.
