Lords division · 28 Apr 2003 · No. 1

Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch to leave out Clause 11 and insert the new Clause (Legal challenge); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 38

Contents: 120 Not Contents: 158

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 38 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).

Every vote

Contents (118)

Not Contents (156)

Tellers (4)
