Regulatory Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 1, page 1, line 23, to leave out paragraph (a) and insert:(“( ) any Act (whether or not in force) which was passed before this Act is passed and at least two years before the day on which the order is made, ( ) any Act (whether or not in force) which was passed after this Act is passed and at least two years before the day on which the order is made and which contains a provision that it shall be deemed “legislation” within the meaning of this subsection, or”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (78)

Not Contents (147)

Tellers (4)
