Lords division · 4 Apr 2019 · No. 3

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

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

The Contents have it

Majority 116

Contents: 227 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 116 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), Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Not Content), Lord Robathan (Not Content).
