Lords division · 2 Nov 2006 · No. 1

Companies Bill [HL] (formerly Company Law Reform Bill [HL])

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, as an amendment to Amendment 245B in lieu, in line 4, to leave out “and” and insert “or the company, or”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 76 Not Contents: 137

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 61 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Not Content).
