Lords division · 4 Nov 2002 · No. 5

Enterprise Bill

It was moved by the Lord Sainsbury of Turville that the House do not insist on its Amendment No. 1 to which the Commons had disagreed for their reason No. 1A; then it was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral to leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 148 Not Contents: 136

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 12 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).

Every vote

Contents (146)

Not Contents (134)

Tellers (4)
