Horse Passports (England) Regulations 2004

It was moved by the Viscount Astor that an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the Regulations, laid before the House on 20th May, be annulled (S.I. 2004/1397); 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: Viscount Astor (Content), Lord Selsdon (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
