Lords division · 17 Oct 2007 · No. 1

Legal Services Bill [HL]

Lord Kingsland moved, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 4, to leave out from “House” to end and insert “do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment 4 but do propose Amendment 4A in lieu— in clause 15, page 7, line 15, at end to insert: “(5A) Where P is an independent trade union, persons provided with relevant services do not constitute the public or a section of the public in the circumstances specified in subsection (5B). (5B) The circumstances are— (a) the persons are provided with the services by virtue of (i) their membership or former membership of P, or (ii) another person’s membership or former membership of P, (b) the services are provided to the persons in connection with any matter which arises out of the terms and conditions of their employment, their treatment by their employers, their workplace relationships or their workplace or other working conditions, and (c) any such employment, employer or workplace is one in respect of which P represents, or seeks to represent, workers as a trade union.”” 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: Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Content), Lord Addington (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
