Lords division · 30 Jan 2001 · No. 1

Private Security Industry Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley, in Clause 4, page 4, line 47, at end to insert: (“(6) A person may apply, on notice to the Security Industry Authority, to the magistrates’ court having jurisdiction over the area affected by the designated activities, for an exemption from the requirements to apply for a licence and the Lord Chancellor may make an order as to the procedure to be followed on such an application, including on urgent applications; and the test to be applied by the court is the same as that which would have been applied had an application been made to the Security Industry Authority. (7) A licence under subsection (6) shall not be granted for a period exceeding one month and shall not be renewable.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee 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).
