Lords division · 17 Feb 2003 · No. 1

Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Clause 2, page 2, line 5, after “hospital” to insert “after 1st April 2004”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 29

Contents: 152 Not Contents: 123

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 29 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 Barker (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote
