Lords division · 19 May 2003 · No. 1

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in clause 4, page 3, line 23, at beginning to insert “Subject to subsection (6A),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 21

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 21 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Goodhart (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (134)

Not Contents (113)

Tellers (4)
