Lords division · 20 Oct 2003 · No. 2

Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Clause 101, page 42, line 15, at end to insert: “( ) The CHAI shall ensure that so far as it is practicable the standards and procedures applied to its responsibilities in relation to independent health services are the same as those applied to services provided by or for NHS bodies.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

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).
