Lords division · 12 May 2003 · No. 1

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Bassam of Brighton, in Schedule 6, page 76, line 29, after “omit” insert “— (a) “under the hand and seal”, and (b) ” which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 30

Contents: 88 Not Contents: 58

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 30 votes. The Government's position was 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 Grocott (Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Baroness Seccombe (Not Content).
