Disqualifications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Falconer of Thoroton that the Bill be now read a second time; 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: Lord Carter (Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Content), Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Not Content), Marquess of Salisbury (Not Content).
