Lords division · 14 Oct 2015 · No. 3

Childcare Bill [HL]

Lord Touhig moved amendment 27, in clause 2, page 3, line 17, to leave out subsections (4) and (5) and insert: “( ) A statutory instrument containing regulations under section 1 or section (Discharging the section 1(1) duty) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.” 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 McAvoy (Content), Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
