Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Sharpe of Epsom, to leave out the words last inserted and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023 because Parliament has already rejected during consideration of primary legislation the proposals contained within those Regulations.” 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: Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (Content), Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
