Lords division · 27 Mar 2012 · No. 7

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

Lord Pannick moved amendment 24, in clause 46, page 33, line 18, at end to insert: “(7) To the extent specified in regulations made by the Lord Chancellor by statutory instrument, the amendments made by subsection (4) and section 48 and the repeal made by section 49(1), do not apply in relation to a costs order made in favour of a party to proceedings of a description specified in the regulations. (8) A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (7) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.” 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 Alton of Liverpool (Content), Lord Pannick (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
