Lords division · 18 Jun 2002 · No. 1

Employment Bill

It was moved by the Lord McIntosh of Haringey to leave out Clause 39; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 97

Contents: 184 Not Contents: 87

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 97 votes. The Government's position was Content, and it won.

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 Grocott (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Baroness Seccombe (Not Content).
