Lords division · 14 Mar 2007 · No. 1

House of Lords Reform (option 1)

Lord Falconer of Thoroton moved that this House is of the opinion that a reformed House of Lords should be fully appointed. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 240

Contents: 361 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 240 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Norton of Louth (Content), Baroness Massey of Darwen (Content), Lord Dubs (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
