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: The Earl of Courtown (Content), Lord Sandhurst (Content), Lord Lemos (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (184)

Not Contents (142)

Tellers (4)
