Lords division · 28 Jan 2003 · No. 1

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 3, page 2, line 18, to leave out “may” and insert “shall”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 8

Contents: 100 Not Contents: 92

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 8 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative 56
Liberal Democrat 21

Crossbench 3

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 (98)

Not Contents (90)
