Banking Bill

Baroness Noakes moved amendment 160, in clause 167, page 89, line 3, at end to insert: “214AA Contingency funding: power to make regulations The Treasury may make regulations under section 214A only after it has laid before Parliament a report on the impact of a pre-funded scheme on the classes of person from whom contributions can be levied and whether contingency funding is the best way to achieve the special resolution regime objectives set out in section 4 of the Banking Act 2008.” The Committee 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 Bates (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
