Lords division · 6 Mar 2003 · No. 1

Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 17, page 11, line 35, at end to insert: “( ) Within the context of the strategy required by section 16, a duty shall be placed on a waste disposal authority and a waste collection authority within a given area to produce and publish a Joint Municipal Waste Strategy. ( ) Within the context of the Joint Municipal Waste Strategy, a waste disposal authority may exercise a power of direction to a waste collection authority to specify the type of segregated waste to be delivered in support of meeting agreed targets for the recovery and recycling of dry recyclable material and biodegradable waste.”; 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: Baroness Byford (Content), The Duke of Montrose (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
