Lords division · 13 Jul 2021 · No. 2

Procedure and Privileges

Lord Balfe moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of the Senior Deputy Speaker, at end insert “but that this House believes that the Lord Speaker should call members during oral questions, in a manner similar to that which pertains in the House of Commons; and calls on the Procedure and Privileges Committee to consider this matter and report by 31 October at the latest.” The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 264

Contents: 112 Not Contents: 376

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 264 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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.
