Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral to resolve that this House calls upon Her Majesty’s Government to revoke the Regulations laid before the House on 7th February (S.I. 2006/246); 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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
