Lords division · 17 Mar 2003 · No. 1

Community Care (Delayed Discharges etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Clement-Jones, in Clause 5, page 5, line 44, at end to insert “excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 134 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 15 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 Astor of Hever (Content), Lord Clement-Jones (Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
