Lords division · 4 Sep 2019 · No. 4

Baroness Deech’s amendment 1 to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon

Baroness Deech moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon, to leave out from “move” to the end and insert “notwithstanding the 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, considers that a guillotine motion is entirely contrary to the spirit and practice of the House of Lords” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 145

Contents: 165 Not Contents: 310

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 145 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 Howard of Rising (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
