Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 61, page 62, line 7, to leave out from beginning to (“an”) in line 8 and insert (“electricity suppliers”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Not Content).
