Lords division · 27 Mar 2006 · No. 1

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, in Clause 2, page 2, line 7, after “managed” to insert “, having regard to the need to contain global warming,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 45

Contents: 99 Not Contents: 144

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 45 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 Dixon-Smith (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
