Lords division · 4 Apr 2019 · No. 1

Closure motion on the motion in the name of Lord Forsyth of Drumlean

Lord Pannick moved that the question, that the motion in the name of Lord Forsyth of Drumlean be agreed to, be now put. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 121

Contents: 239 Not Contents: 118

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 121 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 McAvoy (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
