Northern Ireland Arms Decommissioning (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 1, page 1, line 7, to leave out “2007” and insert “2005” which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

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), Lord Whitty (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (100)

Not Contents (158)
