Lords division · 30 Apr 2001 · No. 3

Criminal Justice and Police Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 2, page 3, line 3, to leave out “has reason to believe” and to insert “believes beyond reasonable doubt”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 21

Contents: 77 Not Contents: 98

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 21 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
