Police Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dholakia in Clause 36, page 35, line 38, at end to insert “and the principal local authority for that area”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 24

Contents: 151 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 24 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (149)
