Lords division · 4 Apr 2019 · No. 8

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

Baroness Noakes 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 “notes that the Prime Minister has already indicated her intention to ask for a delay in the date for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and considers it unnecessary, as well as undesirable and unprecedented, to apply exceptional procedures to the European Union (Withdrawal) (No.5 Bill) and therefore regrets the proposal by Her Majesty’s Opposition to do so.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 128

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 234

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 128 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).
