Lords division · 4 Jul 2006 · No. 1

Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Monson in Clause 5, page 4, line 12, at end to insert: “( ) Subject to prescribed conditions, regulations under subsection (1) shall provide that where a vehicle is being used by no more than one person at a time, even if it is a place of work, it is not smoke-free.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

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 Naseby (Content), Lord Monson (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
