Lords division · 24 Jul 2002 · No. 1

Procedure of the House: Select Committee Report

It was moved by the Lord Trefgarne, in page 3, line 14, to leave out from “so.” to end of line 16 and insert “The Procedure Committee recommends that none of the proposals in this report should come into operation until detailed estimates of their cost and the availability of the financial, human and accommodation resources needed to give effect to them have been presented to the Procedure Committee and the other relevant committees or sub-committees of the House. The House itself should, as always, take the final decisions on how such resources should be allocated.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 129

Contents: 63 Not Contents: 192

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 129 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Trefgarne (Content), Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content), Lord Greaves (Not Content).
