Lords division · 31 Oct 2006 · No. 1

Armed Forces Bill

It was moved by the Lord Thomas of Gresford, in Clause 3, page 2, line 42, at beginning to insert “without lawful excuse,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 102

Contents: 63 Not Contents: 165

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 102 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Garden (Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
