Lords division · 9 May 2006 · No. 1

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 136, page 60, line 31, to leave out subsection (1) and insert: “( ) All companies admitted to trading on a regulated market are deemed within the company’s articles to have a provision to enable members to nominate another person or persons as entitled to— (a) receive documents and information that the member is entitled to receive from the company; and (b) enjoy or exercise all or any specified rights of the member in relation to the company.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 7

Contents: 153 Not Contents: 146

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 7 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Razzall (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
