Lords division · 18 Jun 2012 · No. 1

Financial Services Bill

Lord Strathclyde, on behalf of Lord Sassoon, moved that (a) the following provisions of the Financial Services Bill be committed to a Committee of the Whole House: (i) Clauses 1 to 4 (the Bank of England); (ii) Clause 5 (the new regulators); (iii) Schedules 1 to 3 (Schedules relating to the Bank of England and the new regulators); and (b) the remainder of the bill be committed to a Grand Committee. Lord Hamilton of Epsom moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “the bill be committed to a Committee of the Whole House” . 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 Hamilton of Epsom (Content), Lord Howard of Rising (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
