Lords division · 1 Nov 2006 · No. 4

Road Safety Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 5, to leave out from “House” to end and insert “do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment 5, but do propose the following Amendments in lieu: in Clause 16, page 21, line 18, at end insert: “(2) The Secretary of State must make regulations under this section no later than 31st December 2007.” page 59, line 6, after “1,” insert: “(aa) section 16,”; 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
