Lords division · 19 Mar 2002 · No. 3

Hunting with Dogs

It was moved by the Lord Whitty to resolve that this House considers that arrangements for the supervision of the hunting of wild mammals with dogs should be given statutory effect by provision similar to Schedule 1 to the Hunting Bill as introduced into the Commons in session 2000–01 [Bill 2] (Supervision); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 97 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 22 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Lord McNally (Not Content).
