It was moved by the Lord Livsey of Talgarth, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (20-day livestock movement restriction rule); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 37

Contents: 165 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 37 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: Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
