Lords division · 12 Jun 2002 · No. 1

Tax Credits Bill

It was moved by the Lord Saatchi after Clause 2 to insert the new Clause: "Annual report to Parliament (No. 2)"; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 121 Not Contents: 118

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 3 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), Earl Russell (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Contents (119)
