Lords division · 1 Mar 2004 · No. 2

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hamwee, in Clause 38, page 20, line 28, at end to insert: “( ) For the purposes of any area in Greater London, the development plan prior to the publication by the Mayor of London of a new spatial development strategy in accordance with section 341(1)(b) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (c. 29) (alteration or replacement) is the unitary development plan adopted in accordance with the principal Act.”; 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 Addington (Content), Baroness Maddock (Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
