Lords division · 4 Sep 2019 · No. 10

Lord Framlingham’s amendment 2C to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon

Lord Framlingham 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 promises made in election manifestoes in 2017 to ensure the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union are not binding”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 188

Contents: 85 Not Contents: 273

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 188 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 Attlee (Content), Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
