Bus Services Bill

Lord Bradshaw moved amendment 3, in clause 1, page 2, line 40, at end to insert: “(11 ) Where a local transport authority or authorities make an advanced quality partnership scheme, the Secretary of State may by order make provision to confer upon that authority or authorities the functions to enforce traffic offences. (12) The Secretary of State may make an order under subsection (11) only if a proposal for the making of the order in relation to the local transport authority or authorities has been made to the Secretary of State by the appropriate authority or authorities.” 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 Bakewell of Hardington Mandeville (Content), Baroness Humphreys (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
