Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 634, page 309, line 28, at end to insert “, or ( ) failed to comply with rules about documentation by virtue of section 635”; 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
