Financial Services Bill

Lord Eatwell moved manuscript amendment 35AB, in clause 3, page 3, line 36, at end to insert: “(1A) The Financial Policy Committee is to exercise its functions with a view to contributing to the achievement by the Bank of the FCA’s integrity objectives, including but not limited to those set out in subsection (2)(f) of section 1D and section 1DA of FSMA 2000 as inserted by section 5 of the Financial Services Act 2012.” The Committee 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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
