Lords division · 8 May 2003 · No. 5

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Swinfen, in Clause 46, page 22, line 23, at end to insert “; and “(c) the procedure to be followed by court security staff in the discharge of their functions”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 40 Not Contents: 72

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 32 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Swinfen (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
