Lords division · 23 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Adoption and Children Bill

It was moved by the Lord Clement-Jones, in Clause 113, page 64, line 44, to leave out “may” and insert “must”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 0

Contents: 128 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 0 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: Baroness Barker (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
