Lords division · 9 May 2000 · No. 2

Financial Services and Markets Bill

It was moved by the Lord Saatchi, in Clause 224, page 118, line 18, leave out subsections (4) to (7) and to insert— (“(4) The ombudsman’s determination shall be binding on the respondent and the complainant and shall be final. (5) The ombudsman’s statement must—(a) give the ombudsman’s reasons for his determination; and (b) be signed by him.”); 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 Northbrook (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content).
