Chinook ZD576: Select Committee Report

It was moved by the Lord Jauncey of Tullichettle that this House takes note of the Report of the Select Committee on Chinook ZD 576 (HL Paper 25); then it was moved by the Lord Chalfont, as an amendment thereto, to leave out all the words after “House” and to insert “accepts the Report of the Select Committee on Chinook ZD 576 and calls upon Her Majesty’s Government to set aside the finding of gross negligence against the two pilots”; 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 Chalfont (Content), Lord Jacobs (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
