Lords division · 4 Apr 2019 · No. 13

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

Lord Hamilton of Epsom moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, at the end to insert “but in view of the exceptional constitutional implications of the proposal put forward, regrettably without agreement in the Usual Channels, for its exceptional consideration in the House of Lords, the House shall not resolve itself into a Committee on the bill until at least 24 hours after a report from the Constitution Committee on the bill has been laid before the House.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 173

Contents: 62 Not Contents: 235

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 173 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 Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
