Lords division · 16 Jan 2015 · No. 1

Assisted Dying Bill [HL]

Baroness O’Neill of Bengarve moved amendment 12B, in clause 2, page 1, line 12, after “of” to insert “assistance with suicide provided under”. The Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 73

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 179

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 73 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 Butler-Sloss (Content), Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Content), Baroness Meacher (Not Content), Lord Dubs (Not Content).
