International Development Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Rawlings, in Clause 1, page 1, line 12, at end to insert: “, or ( ) reducing conflict or the potential for conflict in one or more such countries”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

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), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (75)
