Lords division · 27 Feb 2003 · No. 2

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville, in Clause 13, page 8, line 31, to leave out from “authority” to end of line 34 and insert “for the area in which the premises are situated”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 1

Contents: 98 Not Contents: 97

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 1 vote. 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 Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (96)

Not Contents (95)

Tellers (4)
