Housing and Planning Bill

Lord Kerslake moved amendment D1, as an amendment to Motion D, at end to insert “, and do propose Amendments 47B and 47C in lieu: 47B Page 31, line 35, at end insert: “( ) If a local housing authority so wishes, and the Secretary of State agrees, the Secretary of State shall enter into an agreement with that authority whereby it shall retain such part of the payment referred to in section 67(1) as may be required to fund the provision of a new affordable home.” 47C Page 32, line 2, at end insert: “( ) If a local housing authority can demonstrate to the Secretary of State, whether by reference to its local housing plan or otherwise, that there is a particular need in its area for social housing, the authority shall retain such part of the payment referred to in section 67(1) as may be required to fund the provision of a new dwelling to be let as social housing on terms (as to tenure, rent or otherwise) which are similar to those on which the old dwelling was let.”” 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 Dykes (Content), Lord Kerslake (Content), Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
