Lords division · 18 Mar 2026 · No. 8

Crime and Policing Bill

Baroness Wolf of Dulwich moved amendment 426C, after clause 208, to insert the new clause Offence of obtaining abortifacients by false representation. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 96

Contents: 70 Not Contents: 166

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 96 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 Harper (Content), Baroness O'Loan (Content), Lord Patel (Not Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content).
