Twfy-votes splits the concept of a “Decision” into “Divisions” and “Agreements” - where agreements are decisions taken without a vote.

Exactly how to interpret these is difficult, but it’d be useful to have a list of these decisions, in a way we can link to TheyWorkForYou.

Basically we want an equiv of the divisions table - with chamber, date, motion information, and links to the twfy debate.

This will be incomplete, but as a basic approach “question put and agreed to” flushes a lot of these out.

We can then experiment with including these with policies (as extra ‘informative’ information) - which more broadly helps illustrate that lots of decisions (big and small) are made this way.

Note that e.g. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2023-11-20a.44.3 has no such 'decision' line. I watched the video and they do the Aye shouts

"Question put forthwith" might also be a good watch word from a quick search. But also, I think this is something we might be able to encourage consistency on where it's not already present.
