Export Control Bill

It was moved by the Lord Joffe, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause “Trade Controls: acts outside the United Kingdom”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

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

Every vote

Not Contents (127)
