Lords division · 22 Feb 2022 · No. 1

Procedure and Privileges

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock moved, as an amendment to the first motion in the name of the Senior Deputy Speaker, at the end insert “but that this House believes that the Lord Speaker should call remote participants during questions, oral statements, and repeated urgent questions, rather than the Leader of the House”. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 11

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 11 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.
