Lords division · 10 Feb 2003 · No. 2

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 22, page 10, line 15, at end to insert: “(1B) The Lord Chancellor shall consult the magistrates of the local justice area or areas to which he intends to assign a justices’ clerk before he makes an assignment under the provisions of subsection (1A).”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 29

Contents: 93 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 29 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).
