Lords division · 18 Feb 2003 · No. 1

Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, in Clause 3, page 3, line 45, at end to insert: “( ) The Secretary of State shall specify to the bodies charged with inspection of health and social services that they should monitor, at regular intervals, the impact of this Act on patients and their carers.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (108)
