Lords division · 19 Apr 2006 · No. 1

Government of Wales Bill

It was moved by the Lord Roberts of Conwy, in Clause 7, page 4, line 32, to leave out subsections (5) and (6) and insert: “(5) The list must not include a person— (a) who is included on any other list submitted for the Assembly electoral region or any list submitted for another Assembly electoral region, (b) who is an individual candidate to be an Assembly member for the Assembly electoral region or another Assembly electoral region, (c) who is a candidate to be the Assembly member for an Assembly constituency which is not included in the Assembly electoral region, or (d) who is a candidate to be the Assembly member for an Assembly constituency included in the Assembly electoral region but is not a candidate of the party. (6) A person may not be an individual candidate to be an Assembly member for the Assembly electoral region if he is— (a) included on a list submitted by a registered political party for the Assembly electoral region or another Assembly electoral region, (b) an individual candidate to be an Assembly member for another Assembly electoral region, (c) a candidate to be the Assembly member for an Assembly constituency which is not included in the Assembly electoral region, or (d) a candidate of any registered political party to be the Assembly member for an Assembly constituency included in the Assembly electoral region.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
