Lords division · 18 Mar 2026 · No. 5

Crime and Policing Bill

Baroness Monckton of Dallington Forest moved amendment 424, to leave out clause 208. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 37

Contents: 148 Not Contents: 185

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 37 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: Baroness Coffey (Content), Baroness O'Loan (Content), Lord Patel (Not Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content).
