Lords division · 18 Mar 2004 · No. 4

Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, in Clause 16, page 16, line 9, at end to insert: “(5) In discharging that responsibility and in performing its designated responsibilities under section 3, the NDA shall place no restriction on the UKAEA or BNFL or any other suitably qualified and experienced British or other European Union company from tendering for and (if appropriate) being awarded contracts for the decommissioning of installations or the cleaning up of sites.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 22 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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: Earl Attlee (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
