Lords division · 13 May 2003 · No. 1

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Bishop of Portsmouth, in Clause 54, page 25, line 23, to leave out “either”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 133

Contents: 24 Not Contents: 157

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 133 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: The Lord Bishop of Peterborough (Content), Baroness Blatch (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
