Lords division · 4 Apr 2019 · No. 6

Lord True's amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town

Lord True moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, to leave out from “move” to the end and to insert “notwithstanding the non-binding resolution of the House of 28 January that Her Majesty’s Government should provide sufficient time for this House to ensure the timely passage of legislation necessary to implement any deal or proposition that has commanded the support of the majority of the House of Commons, that this House does not consider it is in keeping with the traditions and procedures of the House of Lords, its proper scrutinising role or its function as a safeguard of the constitution to apply unprecedented procedures to this Bill, and therefore declines to dispense with normal Standing Orders.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 126

Contents: 122 Not Contents: 248

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 126 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 Hamilton of Epsom (Content), Lord Robathan (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
