Lords division · 11 Mar 2003 · No. 2

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Schedule 1, page 112, line 25, at end to insert: “Small premises (1) The provision of entertainment is not to be regarded as the provision of regulated entertainment for the purposes of this Act, where— (a) the number of persons attending the entertainment at any one time does not exceed 250, and (b) the entertainment terminates no later than 11.30 pm on the same day. (2) The provision of entertainment facilities solely for the purposes of the entertainment in sub-paragraph (1) above is not to be regarded as the provision of regulated entertainment for the purposes of this Act.”; 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Redesdale (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
