Lords division · 11 Mar 2003 · No. 1

Licensing Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Peyton of Yeovil, in Clause 3, page 2, line 34, to leave out paragraphs (a) to (d) and insert: “(a) the licensing justices, as defined in section 2 of the Licensing Act 1964 (c. 26),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 65

Contents: 108 Not Contents: 173

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 65 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 Carlisle of Bucklow (Content), Lord Peyton of Yeovil (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
