Lords division · 8 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (Provision of information to others); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 114 Not Contents: 164

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 50 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 Astor of Hever (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (112)

Not Contents (162)
