Lords division · 14 Sep 2004 · No. 3

Housing Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Caithness, in Clause 138, page 96, line 12, at end to insert: “( ) At completion of the purchase, the buyer of a residential property shall reimburse to the seller or other responsible person who originally paid for the preparation of the pack the cost of the home information pack provided to them. ( ) The total cost exclusive of VAT or other statutory taxes is not to exceed 0.25% of the sale price of the subject property excluding any apportionment for fixtures and fittings.”; 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: The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord Dixon-Smith (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
