House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

The question was put that clause 10 stand part of the Bill. The Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 124

Contents: 142 Not Contents: 18

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 124 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), The Earl of Caithness (Not Content), Lord Northbrook (Not Content).
