Lords division · 2 Mar 2010 · No. 3

Equality Bill

Lord Alli moved amendment 53, before clause 201, to insert the new clause Civil partnerships on religious premises. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 74

Contents: 95 Not Contents: 21

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 74 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

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 Noakes (Content), Lord Alli (Content), Lord Tebbit (Not Content), Lord Waddington (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (93)
