Lords division · 1 Feb 2010 · No. 2

Pharmacy Order 2010

Lord Scott of Foscote moved, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Order laid before the House on 11 November 2009 be approved, at end to insert “but this House regrets that the draft Order gives power to inspectors appointed under article 8 to enter and search any premises, including any dwelling house, without first obtaining the consent of the occupier of the premises or obtaining from a judge or magistrate a warrant authorising the entry and search.” 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 D'Souza (Content), Lord Scott of Foscote (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
