Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Earl Peel, in Clause 22, page 13, line 21, to leave out (“may”) and insert (“shall”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Contents: 33 Not Contents: 77

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 44 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 Henley (Content), Earl Peel (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
