Lords division · 24 Jul 2002 · No. 6

Procedure of the House: Select Committee Report

It was moved by the Lord Trefgarne, in page 7, line 12, to leave out: 11am—1.30pm 1.30pm—3pm House sits for public business House adjourns during pleasure; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 33 Not Contents: 95

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 62 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 Addington (Not Content).
