(2) In this section— “worker” means a person whose employment involves them selling alcohol under the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003; “employment” means any paid or unpaid work whether under contract, apprenticeship, or otherwise. (3) A person who is guilty of an offence under this section is liable— (a) on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or an unlimited fine (or both), (b) on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine not exceeding the statutory minimum (or both).” 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), Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
