Lords division · 31 Jan 2014 · No. 2

European Union (Referendum) Bill

Lord Lipsey moved that the House do now resume. The Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 180 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 50 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

Labour 115
Liberal Democrat 40

Not Contents

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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Eaton (Not Content), The Earl of Shrewsbury (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (178)

Not Contents (128)

Tellers (4)
