Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Bassam of Brighton, after Clause 20, to insert the new Clause (The new registers); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 43

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 43 votes. The Government's position was 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 Carter (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), Lord Burnham (Not Content), Lord Henley (Not Content).

Every vote
