Lords division · 23 Jul 2002 · No. 1

Export Control Bill

It was moved by the Lord Joffe as an amendment to Commons amendment 17A, in line 2, to leave out from “most” to end and insert “state that consideration shall be given, so far as relevant,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 68

Contents: 74 Not Contents: 142

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 68 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 Joffe (Content), Lord Redesdale (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
