Private Security Industry Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Viscount Astor, in Clause 2, page 2, line 23, at end to insert: (“( ) The Secretary of State shall lay a copy of any such directions before each House of Parliament.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 25

Contents: 28 Not Contents: 53

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 25 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
