Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, after Clause 20, to insert the new Clause (Duration); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

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 Astor of Hever (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
