Lords division · 4 Sep 2019 · No. 6

Lord Marlesford’s amendment 2A to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon

Lord Marlesford moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon, after first “Commons” to insert “, and in recognition of the fact that the vote of 17.4 million people in the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union is no longer relevant and may be ignored or further deferred”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 181

Contents: 103 Not Contents: 284

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 181 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: Earl Cathcart (Content), Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
