Lords division · 25 Oct 2004 · No. 1

Human Tissue Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Neuberger, in Clause 1, page 3, line 2, at end to insert: “( ) Subsection (1)(d) does not apply to the storage of relevant material for the purpose of education and training relating to research if— (a) the material has come from the body of a living person, and (b) the education and training relating to research falls within subsection (12). ( ) Subsection (1)(f) does not apply to the use of relevant material for the purpose of education and training relating to research if— (a) the material has come from the body of a living person, and (b) the education and training relating to research falls within subsection (12). ( ) Education and training relating to research falls within this section if it is to be, or is, carried out in circumstances such that the person carrying it out is not in possession, and not likely to come into possession, of information from which the person from whose body the material has come can be identified.”; 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
