Lords division · 3 Apr 2003 · No. 4

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Rogan, as an amendment to the new Clause (Appointment of constables with special policing skills) after Clause 18 moved by the Lord Privy Seal (Lord Williams of Mostyn), in line 39, at end to insert the new sub-Clause (47B Appointments to Police Service of Northern Ireland); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 55

Contents: 63 Not Contents: 118

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 55 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), Lord Laird (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
