Lords division · 22 Mar 2010 · No. 3

Exeter and Devon (Structural Changes) Order 2010

Lord Tope moved, as an amendment to the original motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Order laid before the House on 10 February because it does not comply with Her Majesty’s Government’s published criteria with respect to affordability of the future structure, without providing more evidence on whether the course proposed is likely to achieve its declared policy objective.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 57

Contents: 53 Not Contents: 110

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 57 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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
