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: Baroness O'Cathain (Content), Baroness Butler-Sloss (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
