Lords division · 10 Feb 2003 · No. 1

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 22, page 10, line 13, at beginning to insert “Subject to the provisions of subsection (1A),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 24

Contents: 97 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 24 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 (95)

Not Contents (119)
