Lords division · 14 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Adoption and Children Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Barker, in Clause 3, page 4, line 12, after “services” to insert “, any Health Authority, Primary Care Trust, local education authority”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 20

Contents: 97 Not Contents: 117

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 20 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Hooson (Content), Baroness Thomas of Walliswood (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
