Lords division · 26 Mar 2002 · No. 1

Animal Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Whitty that the House do now resolve itself into a Committee upon the bill; then it was moved by the Lord Moran, as an amendment thereto, to leave out from “House” to the end and insert “declines to consider the bill in Committee until (i) the responses to the consultation on implementation of powers in the bill have been considered and Her Majesty’s Government have published their response; and (ii) Her Majesty’s Government have received, considered and published the results of the inquiries they have commissioned into foot-and-mouth disease from the National Audit Office and the Royal Society.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and 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 Moran (Content), Lord Willoughby de Broke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (128)
