Lords division · 20 Apr 2016 · No. 3

Housing and Planning Bill

Baroness Gardner of Parkes moved amendment 108, in clause 141, page 72, line 20, at end to insert: “(1) Local planning authorities may make provision for the payment of fees or charges to them in respect of the performance of their functions and anything done by them which is calculated to facilitate or is conducive or incidental to the performance of their functions, and may vary such fees or charges according to the value of the project concerned or any other material concerns. (2) Fees or charges under subsection (1) may exceed the costs incurred by the local planning authority in performing functions relating to the relevant project. (3) Local planning authorities shall retain any fees or charges paid in accordance with subsection (1), and use them as they see fit.” 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: Baroness Maddock (Content), Lord Newby (Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content), Lord Ashton of Hyde (Not Content).
