Lords division · 26 Mar 2001 · No. 3

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Falcolner of Thoroton to leave out Clause 1 and insert the following new Clause:Hunting with Dogs: Regulation; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 81

Contents: 122 Not Contents: 203

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 81 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: Viscount Allenby of Megiddo (Content), Viscount Bledisloe (Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content), Lord McNally (Not Content).
