Lords division · 11 Feb 2003 · No. 2

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral, in Clause 46, page 22, line 24, to leave out “may” and insert “shall”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 101 Not Contents: 116

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 15 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Liberal Democrat 30

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 (99)
