Lords division · 3 Feb 2015 · No. 1

Deregulation Bill

Lord Low of Dalston moved amendment 3, in clause 2, page 2, to leave out lines 15 to 21 and insert “omit from “reducing” to the end of subsection (3) and insert “an adverse effect on the complainant, or a serious adverse effect on any other person, of any matter to which the complaint relates.””. 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 Patel (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
