Lords division · 30 Apr 2002 · No. 1

National Health Service Reform and Health Care Professions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Clement-Jones, before Clause 16, to insert the new Clause (Establishment of Patients’ Councils); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 91

Contents: 227 Not Contents: 136

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 91 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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: Earl Howe (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (225)
