Lords division · 15 Jun 2020 · No. 4

Abortion (Northern Ireland) (No 2) Regulations

Viscount Younger of Leckie moved that the motion to approve the Regulations be agreed to. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 278

Contents: 355 Not Contents: 77

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 278 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.
