Lords division · 4 Nov 2002 · No. 4

Animal Health Bill

It was moved by the Countess of Mar, as an amendment to the new Clause (Biosecurity guidance), in line 41, after “published” to insert “and distributed to all those listed in section 6A(3)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 39

Contents: 169 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 39 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 Wilcox (Content), The Countess of Mar (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
