Lords division · 7 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, in Clause 1, page 1, line 7, at end to insert: “( ) Before making an order under subsection (1), the Secretary of State must exercise his powers as defined in section 25 of the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998 (c. 45) (power to alter regions) to review the boundaries of the regions as specified in Schedule 1 of that Act.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 49

Contents: 111 Not Contents: 160

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 49 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).
