Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Russell-Johnston, in Clause 2, page 2, line 11, at beginning to insert “Except as provided in section (Premises serving food),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Content), Lord Russell-Johnston (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
