Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, in Clause 12, page 6, line 3, at end to insert: “( ) In making the code the regulator shall ensure that the economic effect of all commitments to make payments over periods exceeding one year is taken into account.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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 Barker (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (175)

Not Contents (120)

Tellers (4)
