Lords division · 20 Jun 2006 · No. 1

Electoral Administration Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, as an amendment to the motion that this House do not insist on its Amendment 8, at end to insert “but do propose Amendment 8B in lieu”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 9

Contents: 156 Not Contents: 147

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 9 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Goodhart (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
