Lords division · 7 Dec 2001 · No. 1

Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Naseby, in Clause 5, page 2, line 38, to leave out “had no reason to suspect” and insert “could not reasonably have been expected to know”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 16 Not Contents: 56

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 40 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.

Tellers: Lord Naseby (Content), Viscount Oxfuird (Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Not Content).
