Lords division · 8 Nov 2011 · No. 1

Procedure of the House

The Chairman of Committees moved Procedure of the House (Proposal 1) (Role of the Lord Speaker). The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 169 Not Contents: 233

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 64 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 Campbell-Savours (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Content), Earl Cathcart (Not Content), Baroness Morris of Bolton (Not Content).
