I have been informed that a small number of Members have inadvertently cast their votes, by electronic means, in the opposite way to the one in which they intended to vote. I am informed that their use of technology was not quite as good as they felt it ought to be and that a few Members have made a mistake. There is no provision under the current temporary system by which a Member can change their vote once it has been cast, but I am satisfied that even if a small number of votes had been cast in a different way it does not affect the result of the Division.

Clause 42

Regulations under section 40: classification of domestic support and provision of information

Amendment proposed: 39, page 38, line 28, leave out subsections (4) and (5).—(Deidre Brock.)

Question put, That the amendment be made.

The House proceeded to a remote Division.
