Police and Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, as an amendment to Motion B moved by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal, at end to insert “but do propose Amendment 84E as an amendment to Amendment 84C”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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 Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
