Lords division · 3 Apr 2019 · No. 1

Flags (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Lord Bruce of Bennachie moved, as an amendment to the motion, “but this House regrets that the draft Regulations are unnecessary as there is no value in prohibiting the flying of flags in Northern Ireland on Europe Day, which celebrates peace and prosperity in Europe.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

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 Bruce of Bennachie (Content), Lord Storey (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
