Lords division · 5 Jul 2022 · No. 1

Sitting Times

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of the Senior Deputy Speaker, to leave out from “move” to the end and insert “that this House continues with its current sitting arrangements”. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 34

Contents: 158 Not Contents: 124

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 34 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: Baroness Eaton (Content), Lord Mancroft (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
