Lords division · 13 Jul 2006 · No. 5

Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, after Clause 20, to insert the new Clause (Continued suspension of Assembly: Parliamentary control of Orders in Council); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 35

Contents: 148 Not Contents: 113

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 35 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
