Baroness Merron moved amendment 180, after clause 56, to insert the new clause Review: offences relating to animal torture content. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 211 Not Contents: 171

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 40 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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

Every vote

Contents (209)
