Lords division · 24 Feb 2003 · No. 2

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Schedule 1, page 110, line 38, at end to insert: “Educational establishments The provision of any entertainment or entertainment facilities in the premises of an educational establishment for the purposes directly connected to the activities of the establishment is not to be regarded as the provision of regulated entertainment for the purposes of this Act.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 169 Not Contents: 107

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 62 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 (167)

Not Contents (105)
