Coroners and Justice Bill

Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer moved amendment 1, in clause 1, page 2, line 20, at end to insert: “( ) A senior coroner shall inform the Chief Coroner if completion of an investigation is likely to take more than 12 months from the time that the coroner was notified of the death. ( ) The Chief Coroner shall maintain a register of prolonged investigations.” 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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
