Lords division · 2 Nov 2006 · No. 3

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

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, as an amendment to the motion that this House do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment 954, to leave out “agree” and to insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 116 Not Contents: 104

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 12 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 Razzall (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
