Lords division · 24 Mar 2003 · No. 2

Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (Further referendum on petition); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 78 Not Contents: 142

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 64 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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Baroness Wilcox (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (76)
