Lords division · 16 Mar 2009 · No. 1

Parliamentary Constituenceis (England) (Amendment) Order 2009

Lord Tyler moved, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Order laid before the House on 29 January be approved, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Order laid before the House on 29 January”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 140

Contents: 45 Not Contents: 185

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 140 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: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
