Lords division · 19 May 2003 · No. 3

Courts Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral, in clause 93, page 45, line 35, at end to insert: “( ) that misconduct has caused substantial prejudice to the administration of justice in those criminal proceedings, such that it has been frustrated or rendered impracticable, and ( ) the criminal proceedings have thereby been significantly delayed or abandoned, and”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 120 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 5 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
