Lords division · 12 Mar 2026 · No. 1

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026

Baroness Hoey moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the  Order, to leave out all the words after "that" and insert "this House declines to approve the draft Order laid before the House on 13 January because while the Scottish Islands are protected from the Order, Northern Ireland, which is already marginalised from the rest of the UK through the imposition of the Windsor Framework, is denied the same protection; and because in a context where no viable fuel alternatives exist the only impact of the Order will be to increase bureaucratic burdens on business and impose additional costs on those living in parts of the UK that depend on maritime transport.” 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 Hay of Ballyore (Content), Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (Content), Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Not Content), Lord Leong (Not Content).
