Lords division · 8 Apr 2019 · No. 1

European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill

Lord Robertson of Port Ellen moved that clause 2 be agreed to. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 234

Contents: 280 Not Contents: 46

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 234 votes. The Government's position was 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).
