Lords division · 10 Nov 2003 · No. 2

Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Schedule 6, page 132, line 13, to leave out paragraph (a) and insert: “(a) a person appointed as chairman by the body specified in section 183(2B),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 42

Contents: 155 Not Contents: 113

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 42 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
