Lords division · 31 Oct 2006 · No. 2

Armed Forces Bill

It was moved by the Lord Garden, in Clause 8, page 5, line 19, to leave out “life” and insert “ten years”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 148

Contents: 60 Not Contents: 208

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 148 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: The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
