Lords division · 25 Apr 2002 · No. 5

Police Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, in Schedule 5, page 141, line 11, to leave out paragraph 2; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 57

Contents: 158 Not Contents: 101

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 57 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (156)
