Lords division · 1 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Bassam of Brighton, after Clause 22, to insert the new Clause (Abuse of position of trust: acts done in Scotland); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 23

Contents: 33 Not Contents: 10

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 23 votes. The Government's position was Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Contents

Labour	29
Non-affiliated	2
Crossbench	2

Not Contents

Conservative	4
Liberal Democrat	3
Crossbench	3

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 Grocott (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), Lord Astor of Hever (Not Content), Baroness Blatch (Not Content).
