Lords division · 3 Nov 2004 · No. 5

Housing Bill

It was moved by the Lord Best, in Clause 213, page 165, line 18, at end to insert “, to include measures to ensure— (a) that tenants of homes built under subsection (2)(d) are afforded the same protection as tenants of registered social landlords in respect of— (i) legal rights; (ii) terms and conditions of occupancy; (iii) rent levels; (iv) bankruptcy of landlord or managing agent; (v) recourse to the Independent Housing Ombudsman; (b) that all recipients of grant under subsection (2) are subject to the same regulation in respect of— (i) disposal of land or property which has been the subject of grant; (ii) accountability for the use of grant; (iii) requirements to repay or recycle grant.”; 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: Lord Dholakia (Content), Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
