Lords division · 31 Oct 2011 · No. 2

Localism Bill

Lord Pannick moved amendment 3, in clause 25, page 36, line 37, to leave out subsection (2) and insert: “(2) In deciding whether a decision-maker had, or appeared to have had, a closed mind to any extent when making the decision: (a) the relevant time at which that issue is to be assessed is when the decision of the relevant authority was formally taken; (b) an earlier statement or conduct by the decision-maker that amounts to predisposition is irrelevant; and (c) an earlier statement or conduct by the decision-maker that amounts to predetermination shall be taken into account and given such weight as is appropriate in the circumstances of the case.” 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 Pannick (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
