Lords division · 3 Nov 2003 · No. 5

Fire Services Bill

It was moved by the Lord Wedderburn of Charlton, in Clause 1, page 2, line 24, at end to insert: “(7A) For the avoidance of doubt it is declared that an act done in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute which is otherwise not actionable in tort by reason of Part V of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (c. 52), shall not be actionable in tort on the ground only— (a) that it constitutes a contravention of, or non-compliance with, a statutory duty imposed by an order made under this Act, or (b) that it constitutes an inducement to commit, or agreement or combination to commit, or threatens to commit or induce, any such contravention or non-compliance. (7B) In subsection (7A) “an act” includes a deliberate failure to act.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 61 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
