Lords division · 6 Dec 2001 · No. 1

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Clause 17, page 7, line 7, after “authority” to insert “to a relevant public authority”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 82

Contents: 227 Not Contents: 145

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 82 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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

Every vote

Contents (225)
