Lords division · 21 Oct 2011 · No. 1

House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

Lord Steel of Aikwood moved that it be an instruction to the Committee of the Whole House to which the House of Lords Reform Bill has been committed that they consider the bill in the following order: Clauses 10 to 19 Clauses 1 to 9. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 159

Contents: 175 Not Contents: 16

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 159 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Norton of Louth (Content), Lord Lea of Crondall (Content), Lord Trefgarne (Not Content), Lord Northbrook (Not Content).
