Official Controls (Amendment) Regulations 2024

Baroness Hoey moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the Regulations, at end to insert “but that this House regrets that the draft Regulations further distance Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and embed it further under European Union control.” 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 Browne of Belmont (Content), Lord Hay of Ballyore (Content), Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Not Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content).
