Lords division · 15 Feb 2006 · No. 2

NHS Redress Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Barker, in Clause 6, page 3, line 40, at end to insert: (2A) A scheme may make provision for access to an independent medico-legal expert agreeable both to the scheme authority and the person involved in the case which has been the subject of a report by the Patient Redress Investigator. (2B) Both the scheme authority and the person involved in the case shall agree to be bound by the findings of the independent medico-legal expert.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 31

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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
