Lords division · 3 Apr 2003 · No. 3

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, as an amendment to Commons amendment 17, in line 3, at end to insert: “(aa) information the disclosure of which would, or would be likely to, prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 67

Contents: 65 Not Contents: 132

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 67 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).
