Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer, before Clause 76, to insert the new Clause (Gas and Electricity Markets Authority Sustainability Duty); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Contents: 148 Not Contents: 111

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 Roper (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Triesman (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (145)
