Lords division · 4 Jul 2002 · No. 1

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Park of Monmouth in Clause 53, page 32, line 15, at end to insert “from the membership of appropriate statutory organisations”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 67

Contents: 84 Not Contents: 151

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 67 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).

Every vote

Contents (82)

Not Contents (149)
