Lords division · 17 Oct 2007 · No. 4

Legal Services Bill [HL]

Lord Neill of Bladen moved, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 74, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 23

Contents: 142 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 23 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Neill of Bladen (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
