Lords division · 20 Jun 2002 · No. 1

Tax Credits Bill

It was moved by the Earl Russell, after Clause 66, to insert the following new Clause “Advisory bodies and consultation”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 58

Contents: 23 Not Contents: 81

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 58 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative	20
Crossbench	1

Not Contents

Labour	67
Crossbench	8
Non-affiliated	6

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 Astor of Hever (Content), Baroness Hanham (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
