Lords division · 6 Dec 2023 · No. 4

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels: Passenger Railway Services) Regulations 2023

Lord Liddle 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; that their retrospective element will create uncertainty; that the impact assessment is not sufficiently robust; that it is unclear whether contractual relationships will impact the issue of work notices; and that they may prevent workers from being able to take industrial action.” 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: Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Content), Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Harlech (Not Content).
