Lords division · 22 Oct 2002 · No. 1

Animal Health Bill

It was moved by the Countess of Mar, in Clause 1, page 1, line 3, at end to insert: “( ) In the Animal Health Act 1981 (c. 22) (in this Act referred to as the 1981 Act) before Paragraph-3 of Schedule 3 insert— “(A1) The Secretary of State shall give priority to a “vaccinate to live” policy prior to causing to be slaughtered animals on premises where no infection has been detected.””; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The 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: The Countess of Mar (Content), Lord Moran (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
