Lords division · 26 Mar 2012 · No. 1

Procedure Committee, 11th Report

Lord Cormack moved, as an amendment to the original motion, at the end to insert “, with the exception of paragraphs 10 and 11 (Grand Committees), which shall be referred back to the Committee for further consideration.” The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 223

Contents: 319 Not Contents: 96

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 223 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: Viscount Eccles (Content), Baroness Noakes (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
