Lords division · 21 Mar 2019 · No. 1

Railways (Interoperability) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Lord Berkeley moved that this House regrets that the Railways (Interoperability) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/345), laid before the House on 26 February, will cost United Kingdom businesses excessively in operating a potentially diverging range of safety and other railway standards from those of the United Kingdom's largest market, and regrets the failure of Her Majesty's Government to demonstrate any significant benefits; and calls on Her Majesty’s Government to lay new regulations that would enable continued compliance with the activities of the European Agency for Rail to provide the best ongoing business opportunities for manufacturers, rail passengers and freight customers in the United Kingdom; continued and consistent safety improvements; and reduced manufacturing costs as a result of one common set of standards across Europe. 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 Berkeley (Content), Lord Snape (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Stedman-Scott (Not Content).
