Lords division · 16 Jan 2015 · No. 2

Assisted Dying Bill [HL]

Lord Carlile of Berriew moved amendment 13, in clause 2, page 1, line 13, to leave out “a registered medical practitioner” and insert “at least two registered medical practitioners, with one of whom the person has been registered for medical care for at least six months immediately prior to making the declaration at section 1(2)(b) and at least one of whom has diagnosed the terminal illness and treated the person in relation to that terminal illness,”. The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 58

Contents: 61 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 58 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Finlay of Llandaff (Content), Baroness Hollins (Content), Baroness Meacher (Not Content), Lord Dubs (Not Content).
