Lords division · 10 May 2011 · No. 4

Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Lord Pannick moved amendment 4, in clause 1, page 1, line 6, at beginning to insert “If, but only if, a resolution to this effect is approved by each House of the Parliament in question,”. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 190 Not Contents: 184

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 6 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: Lord Laming (Content), Lord Pannick (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (188)

Not Contents (182)

Tellers (4)
