For the information of members, the day on which the most divisions has ever been held was an overnight sitting from 9 to 10 April in 1935, when there were 83 divisions in a single sitting of the House of Representatives. As of today, we are in second place at 40 divisions. If anyone wants to break the record and stay here for a late night, let me know!
