Lords division · 19 Jun 2006 · No. 2

Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Pendry, in Clause 3, page 3, line 4, to leave out paragraph (b); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 60

Contents: 97 Not Contents: 157

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 60 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Content), Baroness Golding (Content), Baroness Howarth of Breckland (Not Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content).
