Lords division · 24 Apr 2001 · No. 2

Health and Social Care Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Clause 21, page 17, line 6, leave out from second “is” to third “or” in line 7 and insert “failing significantly in the performance of one or more of its functions,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 20

Contents: 95 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 20 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Burnham (Content), Lord Luke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
