Lords division · 26 Oct 2006 · No. 2

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Wilcox, before Clause 4, to insert the new Clause (Independence of the economic regulators); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 14

Contents: 96 Not Contents: 110

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 14 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (94)

Not Contents (108)

Tellers (4)
