Lords division · 28 Jan 2008 · No. 1

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

Baroness Masham of Ilton moved amendment 163, before clause 59, to insert the new clause Amendment of law relating to late abortion. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 67

Contents: 22 Not Contents: 89

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 67 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: Earl Ferrers (Content), Lord Hylton (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Baroness Barker (Not Content).
