Lords division · 11 Jun 2002 · No. 1

Employment Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, in Clause 29, page 35, line 33, at end to insert: “(4) Minor and inconsequential breach by an employer or employee of the requirements of Schedule 2 shall not result in his suffering any detriment in any proceedings before an employment tribunal and the employer shall not be deemed thereby to have wrongly dismissed the employee.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 114 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 16 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
