Lords division · 29 Oct 2002 · No. 1

Animal Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Plumb, as an amendment to the new Clause (Report to Parliament), in line 8, after “taken” to insert “by government departments and agencies and other public bodies”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 182 Not Contents: 129

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 53 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).
