Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill [HL]

Baroness D'Souza Excerpts

Monday 13th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord McKenzie of Luton]

My Lords, I move this formally on the basis that it is accepted as consequential. If it is not, I would like to test the opinion of the House.

[The Lord Speaker (Baroness D'Souza)]

The Question is that Amendment 2 be agreed to. As many as are of that opinion will say “Content”, the contrary “Not Content”. The Contents have it.

[Lord Trefgarne (Con)]

There were clear voices saying “Not Content”. There should be a Division.

[The Lord Speaker]

I beg your pardon, my Lords. I did not hear any “Not Content” voices. Let me put the Question again. The Question is that Amendment 2 be agreed to—as many as are of that opinion will say “Content”, the contrary “Not Content”.

[Noble Lords]

Not Content.

[The Lord Speaker]

Clear the Bar.
