Lords division · 7 Apr 2003 · No. 4

Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hamwee, after Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Local government referendums); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 129 Not Contents: 79

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 50 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

Contents

Labour 85
Liberal Democrat 28
Non-affiliated 8
Crossbench 7
Bishops 1

Not Contents

Conservative 69
Crossbench 8
Non-affiliated 2

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 Roper (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Baroness Seccombe (Not Content).
