Lords division · 25 Oct 2006 · No. 1

NHS Redress Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Earl Howe, as an amendment to Commons amendment 4, in line 1, at end to insert “and insert “in accordance with natural justice such that the person overseeing the investigation is independent of the body or person under investigation (such investigation to be confined to the facts of cases and not to consider issues of liability in law, whether civil or criminal);””; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 149 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 16 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Teverson (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
