Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026

Baroness Hoey moved that this House regrets the process that led to the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026, because (1) the alignment with Northern Ireland the regulations seek to achieve requires the UK to follow EU law, and (2) they will lead to increased costs and lower efficacy associated with heat pump tumble dryers. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 13 Not Contents: 66

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 53 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
