Lords division · 18 Oct 2005 · No. 2

Charities Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Schedule 8, page 143, line 36, at end to insert: “( ) In subsection (2), at the end of paragraph (a) insert “but so that the requirements of such regulations shall be the minimum commensurate with the need to ensure that the statement of accounts provides a true and fair view of the charity’s financial position”. ( ) In subsection (2), after paragraph (b) insert— “(c) for more than one type of statement to be prepared to reflect the differing natures and sizes of different charities.””; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 114 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 16 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
