Lords division · 3 Nov 2004 · No. 1

Housing Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Maddock, in Clause 55, page 37, line 17, at end to insert: “( ) In exercising the power conferred by subsection (3), the appropriate national authority must ensure that the following fall within the prescribed description of HMOs for the purposes of subsection (2)(a)— (a) upon such an order coming into force, HMOs of 3 or more storeys and occupied by 5 or more persons; (b) within one year of such an order coming into force, HMOs of 3 or more storeys and occupied by 4 or more persons; and (c) within 2 years of such an order coming into force, HMOs of 3 or more storeys and occupied by 3 or more persons.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House 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: Baroness Maddock (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
