Lords division · 10 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Falconer of Thoroton, in Clause 30, page 14, line 35, to leave out paragraph (b); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 95 Not Contents: 55

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 40 votes. The Government's position was Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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 Grocott (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), Lord Astor of Hever (Not Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content).

Every vote
