Lords division · 25 Jun 2002 · No. 1

Proceeds of Crime Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 6, page 3, line 38, at end to insert “unless it is of the opinion that there are exceptional circumstances which justify its not doing so”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 137 Not Contents: 131

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 6 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Goodhart (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (135)

Not Contents (129)

Tellers (4)
