For public affairs teams and campaigners tracking whether an amendment got through. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. Needs the bill ID and a stage_id from bill_stages_timeline; can filter by decision or a word in the amendment, and pages with skip. Decisions are null until Parliament records them. (cost: 1 credit)
