Lords division · 31 Mar 2008 · No. 2

Climate Change Bill [HL]

Lord Crickhowell moved amendment 1, in clause 2, page 2, line 3, to leave out from “to” to end of line 4 and insert “prepare such proposals and policies (including the setting of five year budgets) as the Secretary of State reasonably considers will— (a) ensure that the net UK carbon account for the year 2050 is at least 60% lower than the 1990 baseline, and (b) enable the carbon budgets that have been set under this Act to be met”. 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: The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord Crickhowell (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Not Content).
