Lords division · 20 Jun 2006 · No. 2

Police and Justice Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, before Clause 2, to insert the new Clause (Revised power to alter police areas by order); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 68

Contents: 198 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 68 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
