Lords division · 26 Nov 2001 · No. 1

European Communities (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Blackwell, after Clause 3, to insert the new Clause (Referendum); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 131

Contents: 11 Not Contents: 142

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 131 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 Blackwell (Content), Lord Willoughby de Broke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
