Lords division · 3 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 14, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 94 Not Contents: 147

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 53 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
