Lords division · 18 Jan 2013 · No. 1

Scrap Metal Dealers Bill

Earl Attlee moved amendment 1, in clause 18, page 10, line 12, at end to insert: “( ) This Act expires at the end of 5 years beginning with the day on which section 1 comes into force.” The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 58

Contents: 31 Not Contents: 89

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 58 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 Cormack (Content), Baroness Wilcox (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content).
