Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock moved amendment 31, in clause 1, page 2, line 4, at end to insert: “( ) In Scotland, a Gaelic version of the question is also to appear on the ballot papers.” The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 135 Not Contents: 196

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 61 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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
