Lords division · 15 Mar 2019 · No. 1

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill [HL]

Lord Cormack moved that the question be now put. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 87 Not Contents: 23

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 64 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

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 Cormack (Content), Lord Snape (Content), Lord Strathclyde (Not Content), Lord Adonis (Not Content).

Contents (87)
