Lords division · 1 Jul 2002 · No. 3

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 19, page 13, to leave out lines 28 to 39 and to insert “take the oath of allegiance and the judicial oath or make the appropriate affirmation”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 34 Not Contents: 98

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 64 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
