Lords division · 27 Jun 2006 · No. 2

Government of Wales Bill

It was moved by the Lord Livsey of Talgarth, in Clause 27, page 17, line 27, at end to insert “not belonging to the same political group”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 194 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 61 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 Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
