Local Government Bill [HL]

Lord Howarth of Newport moved that the bill be referred to the Examiners. The House divided:

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 4 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (152)

Not Contents (148)

Tellers (4)
