Lords division · 4 Sep 2019 · No. 16

Baroness Noakes’s amendment 2J to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon

Baroness Noakes moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Smith of Basildon, leave out paragraph (1) and insert—“(1) Standing Order 40(4) to 40(9) (Arrangements of the Order Paper) be dispensed with in relation to any bill sent from the House of Commons relating to the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.”The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 172

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 241

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 172 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), Viscount Trenchard (Content), Lord McAvoy (Not Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Not Content).
