European Communities (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, after Clause 3, to insert the new Clause (Public Information); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 75

Contents: 89 Not Contents: 164

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 Astor of Hever (Content), Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (87)

Not Contents (162)
