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 Merron (Content), Baroness Wheeler (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (208)
