Lords division · 4 Nov 2020 · No. 1

Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020

Lord Robathan moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the Regulations because no impact analysis of the social, economic and health costs of a national lockdown, compared to the benefits of addressing the transmission of COVID-19 of such a lockdown, has been laid before Parliament, and because Her Majesty’s Government have not published a comprehensive long-term strategy for the lifting of all the restrictions put in place to address the pandemic.” 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.
