Lords division · 15 Mar 2019 · No. 2

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

Lord Strathclyde moved amendment 2A, in clause 1, page 1, line 4 at end to insert “and create a statutory House of Lords Appointments Commission”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 21 Not Contents: 85

At a glance The Not 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.

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 Strathclyde (Content), Lord Adonis (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Snape (Not Content).
