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), Baroness Morris of Bolton (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (85)
