Lords division · 14 Feb 2011 · No. 1

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Lord Falconer of Thoroton moved amendment 1, in clause 5, page 4, line 48, at end to insert: “( ) Party election broadcasts during the referendum period will not be broadcast if they deal with pictures or implied support of any particular side in the referendum on the voting system for parliamentary elections.”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 83

Contents: 153 Not Contents: 236

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 83 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).
