Lords division · 24 Feb 2003 · No. 5

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 5, page 3, line 18, to leave out “three” and insert “six”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 16 Not Contents: 56

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 40 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 Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Content), Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
