Lords division · 21 Jun 2022 · No. 1

Abortion (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2022

Baroness O’Loan moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the Regulations, at the end insert “but that this House regrets that the Regulations (1) disregard the statutory role of the Northern Ireland Assembly and ignore the devolution settlement, and (2) make substantial constitutional changes via secondary legislation”.

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 Morrow (Content), Baroness Hoey (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Ashton of Hyde (Not Content).
