Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Lord Falconer of Thoroton moved amendment 15, in clause 1, page 1, line 6, at end to insert: “( ) The date of the referendum shall not coincide with any poll or polls for any parliamentary assembly or regularly held local government elections.” The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 44

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).
