Lords division · 2 Jun 2003 · No. 1

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Ackner, after Clause 2, to insert the new Clause (Anonymity of defendant in rape etc. cases); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 4

Contents: 109 Not Contents: 105

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 4 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 Ackner (Content), Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote
