Lords division · 17 Jan 2012 · No. 1

Welfare Reform Bill

Baroness Grey-Thompson moved amendment 50E, in clause 80, page 58, line 26, at end to insert: “( ) The Secretary of State must lay before Parliament an independent review of the plans for implementation of the assessments under section 79 before the provisions are brought into effect, and such plans must in particular provide for: (a) a trial period before any assessment process is implemented fully for new applicants and those transferring from DLA; (b) disabled persons organisations to be involved in formulating the assessment process.” 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 Grey-Thompson (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
