Lords division · 2 Jul 2001 · No. 1

Code of Conduct

It was moved by the Lord Privy Seal (Lord Williams of Mostyn) that this House adopts a Code of Conduct for members of the House of Lords; then it was moved by the Lord Kingsland, as an amendment thereto, to insert an alternative Code of Conduct; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 149 Not Contents: 152

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 3 votes. The Government's position was Not 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: Lord Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Lord Roper (Not Content).
