Fire Services Bill

It was moved by the Lord McCarthy, as an amendment to the motion that the bill be now read a second time, to leave out “now” and at end insert “this day six months”; 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 McCarthy (Content), Baroness Turner of Camden (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
