Lords division · 10 Jan 2013 · No. 1

Administration and Works Committee 1st Report

Lord Avebury moved, as an amendment to the motion that the 1st Report from the Administration and Works Committee be agreed to, to leave out “agreed to” and insert “referred back to the Committee for further consideration; and that it be an instruction to the Committee that any future recommendations allow for Members to continue to hold press conferences in Committee Room G”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 81

Contents: 82 Not Contents: 163

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 81 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 Avebury (Content), Baroness Doocey (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Baroness Garden of Frognal (Not Content).
