Lords division · 24 Jun 2003 · No. 2

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer, in Clause 39, page 44, line 35, at end to insert: “(1A) In particular, before any alteration to the water pricing or consumer charging regimes, the Authority shall receive guidance to— (a) define a household income to water charge ratio below which consumers will be regarded as likely to have difficulty in paying such charges; and (b) set out such new measures to be undertaken by the Secretary of State or the Assembly as will address such difficulties.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 81

Contents: 45 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 81 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Livsey of Talgarth (Content), Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
