Lords division · 19 Feb 2001 · No. 3

Regulatory Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 9, page 7, line 42, at end to insert: (“( ) A code of practice under this section shall incorporate the mandatory procedures set out in Schedule 1 to the 1994 Act, but that Schedule shall be interpreted as if in paragraph 3(a)(i) for the words “that he is considering taking the action and the reasons why he is considering it,” there is substituted “that he intends to take action and the reasons why;”.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 84 Not Contents: 154

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 (82)

Not Contents (152)

Tellers (4)
