At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 153 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), Baroness Noakes (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
