It was moved by the Lord Howell of Guildford, in Clause 1, page 1, line 9, after “10,” insert “other than Article 2, paragraph 22, revising Article 214(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

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), Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall (Not Content).
