Lords division · 2 Nov 2006 · No. 2

Companies Bill [HL] (formerly Company Law Reform Bill [HL])

It was moved by the Lord Razzall, as an amendment to Amendment 245B in lieu, in line 4, at end to insert: “(12) Information under subsection (5)(c) shall be prepared in accordance with statements of standard reporting practice that the Secretary of State shall ensure are issued.”; 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 Addington (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
