Lords division · 20 Oct 2003 · No. 1

Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, in Clause 58, page 22, line 18, at end to insert: “( ) Regulations made under this section shall not have effect unless they have been approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Contents: 99 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 12 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 Astor of Hever (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
