Lords division · 27 Mar 2007 · No. 1

Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 (Renewal of Temporary Provisions) Order 2007

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 Blood (Content), Lord Rogan (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
