Lords division · 28 Mar 2000 · No. 1

Care Standards Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Clement-Jones, in Clause 7, page 5, line 25, at end to insert: (“(8) “Excepted services” means the provision of services referred to in subsections (7)(a) and (b). (9) The Commission shall have the general duty of securing improvements in the quality of excepted services in independent hospitals (as defined in section 2) and shall carry out this duty through the contracting of inspections with the Commission for Health Improvement (“CHI”) established by the Health Act 1999. (10) For the purposes of subsection (9) above the Commission shall ensure that the relevant independent hospital pays the full economic costs of any inspection. (11) The standards applied by CHI on any such inspection shall be those which it applies in any comparable inspection of a health service hospital.”); 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 Henley (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
