Lords division · 12 Nov 2008 · No. 2

Planning Bill

Earl Cathcart moved amendment 129ZA, after clause 191, to insert the new clause Protection of gardens and green spaces. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 7

Contents: 135 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 7 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: Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
