Lords division · 1 Jul 2002 · No. 1

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Maginnis of Drumglass, in Clause 2, page 2, line 1, after “Appeal” to insert “or judge of the High Court”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 68

Contents: 90 Not Contents: 158

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 68 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: Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Content), Lord Rogan (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
