Cable and Farron already had permission from the whip to attend their respective meetings aparrently. I've heard Labour had planned to abstain and switched at the last minute to vote against, so the LDs didn't think it would be so close.
The third LD MP is on maternity leave.
You could argue that as the only party opposing brexit they should have a full compliment of MPs to vote no matter the likely outcome. At least they could say they tried.
