Lords division · 4 Mar 2003 · No. 1

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, before Clause 143, to insert the new Clause (Allowing children into licensed premises); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 73

Contents: 184 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 73 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 (182)
