Lords division · 22 Nov 2001 · No. 1

Office of Communications Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 2, page 2, line 32, to leave out “both”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 71

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 144

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 71 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).
