Lords division · 27 Mar 2013 · No. 2

Civil Legal Aid (Procedure) Regulations 2012

Baroness Grey-Thompson moved that this House regrets that the Civil Legal Aid (Procedure) Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/3098) fail to deliver sufficiently wide access to legal aid services for disabled persons; and that the category of “exempted person” is defined too narrowly. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 163 Not Contents: 148

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 15 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Laming (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
