Lords division · 29 Oct 2001 · No. 1

Office of Communications Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 1, page 1, line 9, after “State” to insert “, following consultation with the chairman and any other members who have already been appointed,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 77

Contents: 71 Not Contents: 148

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 77 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
