Lords division · 7 Feb 2023 · No. 3

Public Order Bill

Lord Sharpe of Epsom moved amendment 50, after clause 16, to insert the new clause Wilful obstruction of the highway. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 9

Contents: 239 Not Contents: 248

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 9 votes. The Government's position was 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: The Earl of Courtown (Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
