I'd also just add an awful lot of MPs said they had profound concerns about the bill, but they were voting for the "principle" in the expectation that the House of Lords would amend it. That's not how legislators should behave but we are where we are. Advocates of the bill made the argument in the Commons that issues with it could ironed out in the House of Lords; they're now arguing amending it in the House of Lords. I don't think they can have it both ways. I'd also just note that advocates controlled the timetable in the Commons and they chose to make it very, very short. Numerous MPs on all sides of the debate criticised the lack of time for proper debate or amendment - having said that I think it was because (as happened in the Commons) the longer this bill was examined the more MPs voted against it.
