Political Parties and Elections Bill

Lord Campbell-Savours moved amendment 29, in clause 8, page 7, line 14, at end to insert: “(1A) In section 54 of the 2000 Act (permissible donors), in subsection (2)(a), after “register” there is inserted “who is resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of Part 14 of the Income Tax Act 2007 and is not a non-domiciled United Kingdom resident”.” 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), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content).

Every vote
