Lords division · 4 Sep 2019 · No. 11

Lord True’s amendment 2D to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon

Lord True moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon, after first “Commons” to insert “, and only once any current legal proceedings relating to prorogations in the English courts have been concluded”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 199

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 272

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 199 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).
