TSE (England) Regulations 2002

It was moved by the Countess of Mar that an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the Regulations, laid before the House on 27th March, be annulled (S.I. 2002/843); then it was moved by the Lord Livsey of Talgarth, as an amendment thereto, to leave out from “That” to the end and to insert “this House calls upon Her Majesty’s Government, in relation to the Regulations, laid on 27th March (S.I. 2002/843): (a) to give an undertaking that the period of time in which a veterinary inspector issuing a notice of intended slaughter shall permit representations to the Secretary of State shall be no less than seven days; (b) to consider bringing in further regulations setting up an independent appeals adjudicator nominated by the British Veterinary Association; and (c) to keep the regulations under review in the light of scientific and technological developments relating to TSE.”; then it was moved by the Lord Whitty, as an amendment to the amendment, to leave out paragraph (a) and to insert “(a) to give an undertaking that they will consider ways of ensuring that representations can be made against a notice of intended slaughter issued by a veterinary inspector;”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

How the parties voted

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 Carter (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), The Countess of Mar (Not Content), Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Not Content).
