Lords division · 7 Nov 2006 · No. 2

Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006

It was moved by the Lord Smith of Clifton, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Order be approved, to leave out all the words after “That” and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 until the Northern Ireland Assembly has taken a decision on the subject matter of this Order.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 62 Not Contents: 124

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 62 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: Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
