Lords division · 6 Dec 2023 · No. 2

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels: NHS Ambulance Services and the NHS Patient Transport Service) Regulations 2023

Baroness Merron moved, as an amendment to the original motion to approve the Regulations, at end to insert “but that this House regrets that the draft Regulations contain policy detail that was not included in primary legislation, contrary to the recommendation of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee; do not reflect the policy positions taken by the Government in their response to the relevant consultation; and go against evidence received by the Government which suggests that their implementation will be challenging.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

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 Kennedy of Southwark (Content), Baroness Twycross (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Harlech (Not Content).
