Lords division · 27 Feb 2015 · No. 2

International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Bill

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean moved amendment 21, after clause 21, to insert the following new clause Duties related to defence expenditure. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 83

Contents: 41 Not Contents: 124

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 83 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 MacGregor of Pulham Market (Content), Lord Donoughue (Content), Baroness Hodgson of Abinger (Not Content), Baroness Suttie (Not Content).
