Lords division · 8 Jul 2013 · No. 3

Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill

Lord Dear moved amendment 46, after clause 7, to insert the new clause Protection of teachers. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 131

Contents: 32 Not Contents: 163

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 131 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won. 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 Curry of Kirkharle (Content), Baroness O'Loan (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
