Lords division · 8 Feb 2011 · No. 2

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Lord Wills moved amendment 16HA, before clause 10, to insert the new clause Committee of Inquiry on Parliamentary constituencies. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 86

Contents: 201 Not Contents: 287

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 86 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
