Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill

Lord Harris of Haringey moved amendment 3, in clause 1, page 2, line 24, at end to insert: “( ) Each police and crime commissioner shall appoint a non-executive board of between four and seven members. ( ) Such non-executive boards shall work with the police and crime commissioners to ensure good governance of: (a) financial; (b) staff; and (c) equality; matters and to support police and crime commissioners in respect of their functions. ( ) Police and crime commissioners may make such arrangements as they see necessary to remunerate and reimburse expenses incurred by members of such non-executive boards. ( ) Appointments to and remuneration and expenses arrangements for such non-executive boards shall be subject to approval by the relevant police and crime panel.” 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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
