Lords division · 8 Mar 2001 · No. 1

International Criminal Court Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Howell of Guildford, before Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Jurisdiction of the Court); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 53 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: Lord Henley (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (67)
