Housing and Planning Bill

Lord Kerslake moved amendment B1, as an amendment to Motion B, at end to insert “, and do propose Amendment 47E in lieu: 47E Page 31, line 42, at end insert: “( ) The amount of any reduction agreed under subsection (1) must be sufficient to fund the provision of at least one new affordable home outside Greater London, and at least two new affordable homes in Greater London, for each old dwelling. ( ) Where the local housing authority can demonstrate, whether by reference to its local housing plan or otherwise, that there is a particular need in its area for social rented housing, the Secretary of State, as part of any agreement under subsection (1), must consider any application from the authority to fund the provision of a new dwelling to be let as social housing, in respect of each old dwelling.”” 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 Kerslake (Content), Lord Krebs (Content), Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
