Lords division · 10 Feb 2009 · No. 1

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Lord Taylor of Holbeach moved amendment 87, in clause 49, page 24, line 29, to leave out "may" and to insert "must, by 2012,". The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 45 Not Contents: 85

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 40 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: Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
