High Speed Rail (London–West Midlands) Bill

Lord Bradshaw moved amendment 1, in clause 1, page 1, line 11, at end to insert: “( ) Construction work otherwise authorised by this Act may not begin until: (a) the Secretary of State has commissioned a review of the merits of establishing Old Oak Common station as an interim eastern terminus for Phase One of High Speed 2, with the provision of convenient access arrangements with London Overground routes to the east and west of the station, and (b) the report of that review has been published.” 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), Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
