Local Audit and Accountability Bill [HL]

Lord McKenzie of Luton moved amendment 2, in clause 1, page 2, line 4, at end to insert: “(6) Before the commencement of this section, the Secretary of State must be satisfied that effective successor arrangements are in place or achievable for: (a) the management of existing audit contracts entered into with the Audit Commission; (b) the maintenance and updating of Value for Money profiles; and (c) certification functions currently undertaken by the Audit Commission.” 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).
