Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 15, page 6, line 24, at end to insert: “( ) he is not subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of this Act or to any order made under that Part, and”; 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 Blatch (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (70)

Not Contents (190)
