Lords division · 24 Feb 2003 · No. 1

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Redesdale in Schedule 1, page 110, line 16, to leave out “recorded”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 151 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 36 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), Lord Redesdale (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (149)

Not Contents (113)

Tellers (4)
