Lords division · 15 Dec 2010 · No. 2

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Lord Grocott moved Amendment 40B, in Clause 7, page 5, line 37, to leave out subsection (2) and insert: “( ) A Westminster parliamentary constituency, as it exists on the day of the referendum, is a “voting area” for the purposes of this Part.” The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 71

Contents: 90 Not Contents: 161

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 71 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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).
