Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, as an amendment to the motion that the House do not insist on its amendment 1 to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 1A, to leave out “not”; 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), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content).
