Lords division · 24 Jan 2014 · No. 2

European Union (Referendum) Bill

Lord Roper moved amendment 9, in clause 1, page 1, line 3, at end to insert: “( ) The holding of a referendum under subsection (1) is subject to the condition set out in section (referendum condition) below being met.” The Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 26

Contents: 183 Not Contents: 157

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 26 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: Baroness Quin (Content), Lord Roper (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Perry of Southwark (Not Content).
