Lords division · 28 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Enterprise Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral, in Clause 22, page 13, line 21, to leave out “£45 million” and insert “£100 million”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 7

Contents: 119 Not Contents: 112

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 7 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
