Lords division · 12 Jun 2003 · No. 1

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, before Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Duty to conserve water resources); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 89 Not Contents: 76

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 13 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Conservative 54
Liberal Democrat 18

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 Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (87)

Not Contents (74)
