Lords division · 1 Jul 2002 · No. 2

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 3, page 2, line 32, to leave out “five” and to insert “six”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 76

Contents: 94 Not Contents: 170

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 76 votes. The Government's position was Not 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
