Justice and Security Bill [HL]

Baroness Smith of Basildon moved amendment 15, in Schedule 1, page 14, line 42, to leave out paragraphs (a) and (b) and insert: “(a) the Secretary of State for that Department, or (b) in the case of a Department without a Secretary of State, a Minister of the equivalent level, identified in a memorandum of understanding.” 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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
