Lords division · 27 Jun 2006 · No. 4

Government of Wales Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, in Clause 30, page 19, line 34, to leave out “Audit Committee or Pwyllgor Archwilio” and insert “Accounts Committee (or Pwyllgor Cyfrifon) or any other name that the Assembly chooses to allow through its standing orders”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 28

Contents: 155 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 28 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 Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
