Lords division · 18 Mar 2026 · No. 7

Crime and Policing Bill

Baroness Thornton moved amendment 426B, after clause 208, to insert the new clause Provisions for pardons and criminal records of women prosecuted under abortion Law. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 122

Contents: 180 Not Contents: 58

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 122 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 Patel (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Content), Baroness Coffey (Not Content), Baroness O'Loan (Not Content).
