Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Norton of Louth, to leave out Clause 12; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 37

Contents: 28 Not Contents: 65

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 37 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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 Henley (Content), Lord Norton of Louth (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
