Transport Bill

It was moved by the Lord Brabazon of Tara, as an amendment to the motion of the Lord Macdonald of Tradeston that the House do not insist on its Amendment No. 27 to which the Commons have disagreed, to leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 7 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (130)

Not Contents (123)

Tellers (4)
