Lords division · 19 May 2003 · No. 2

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in clause 41, page 20, line 28, to leave out subsection (5); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 19

Contents: 141 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 19 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative 85
Liberal Democrat 32
Crossbench 16
Non-affiliated 7
Green Party 1

Not Contents

Labour 108
Non-affiliated 8
Crossbench 6

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

Every vote
