Lords division · 3 Feb 2015 · No. 2

Deregulation Bill

Baroness Thornton moved amendment 4, in clause 2, page 8, line 22, at end to insert: “(e) the person who made the booking has consented to their booking being sub-contracted to a second operator. (1A) A licensing authority may exercise all its powers over a vehicle licensed as a private hire vehicle or taxi if it is operating in their area, even if the licence was issued by another licensing authority.” 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 Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
