Lords division · 6 Sep 2019 · No. 2

European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill

Lord True moved amendment 2, in clause 5, page 3, line 39, to leave out subsection (5) and insert:“(5) This section comes into force on the day on which this Act is passed.(5A) All other provisions of this Act come into force on such date as the Secretary of State may appoint by regulations made by statutory instrument, following the first general election to take place in 2019.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 255

Contents: 28 Not Contents: 283

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 255 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).
