Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 6 August (HL17479), what information on (1) how many times the UK has voted against legislation in the Council of Ministers since 2001, and (2) how many of those occasions that legislation subsequently passed, is available; and if so, where it is to be found.

Information on EU legislation considered by the Council of the European Union can be found on the public votes register, including where the United Kingdom was part of a non-blocking minority on votes decided by Qualified Majority Voting. This can be accessed via the Council website.
