Lords division · 19 Mar 2002 · No. 1

Hunting with Dogs

It was moved by the Lord Whitty to resolve that this House considers that the hunting of wild mammals with dogs should be prohibited in accordance with provision similar to Schedule 3 to the Hunting Bill as introduced in the Commons in session 2000–01 [Bill 2] (Ban); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 257

Contents: 74 Not Contents: 331

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 257 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Graham of Edmonton (Content), Lord McNally (Content), Lord Kimball (Not Content), Baroness Mallalieu (Not Content).
