Lords division · 27 Feb 2015 · No. 1

International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Bill

Lord Butler of Brockwell moved amendment 1, in clause 1, page 1, line 2, at beginning to insert “Subject to the assent of the Treasury following each Spending Round,”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 95

Contents: 56 Not Contents: 151

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 95 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: Lord Burns (Content), Lord Hollick (Content), Baroness Hodgson of Abinger (Not Content), Baroness Suttie (Not Content).
