Lords division · 24 Apr 2008 · No. 1

House of Lords (Members' Taxation Status) Bill [HL]

Lord Howard of Rising moved amendment 4, as an amendment to amendment 3, in line 4, to leave out from "Crown" to end of line 5. The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 28

Contents: 24 Not Contents: 52

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 28 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

Non-affiliated 6

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: Viscount Astor (Content), Lord Selsdon (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content), Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Not Content).
