Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Peyton of Yeovil, in Clause 5, page 4, line 15, at end to insert “; and (g) the commissioning, planning and developing of, nuclear power stations.”; 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 Gray of Contin (Content), Lord Peyton of Yeovil (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), Lord Triesman (Not Content).
