Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 58, page 46, line 15, to leave out “from time to time” and insert “at least once every three years”; 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: Earl Attlee (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
