Lords division · 17 Jan 2002 · No. 1

European Communities (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Howell of Guildford, in Clause 1, page 1, line 9, at beginning to insert “Article 1 (other than paragraph 2, subsection 1, revising Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 72

Contents: 86 Not Contents: 158

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 72 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).
