Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill [HL]

Baroness Tyler of Enfield moved amendment 1A, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 1, to leave out from “House” to end and insert “do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment 1 and do propose amendment 1B in lieu.” 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 Humphreys (Content), Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
