Lords division · 20 Nov 2001 · No. 3

European Communities (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Willoughby de Broke, in Clause 1, page 1, line 12, after “Protocols” insert “(other than the Protocol on the Enlargement of the European Union)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 74 Not Contents: 140

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 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 Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
