Lords division · 13 Dec 2022 · No. 1

Voter Identification Regulations 2022

Baroness Pinnock moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Scott of Bybrook, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Voter Identification Regulations 2022 as they will prevent legitimate electors from voting in elections and disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 147

Contents: 63 Not Contents: 210

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 147 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Humphreys (Content), Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
