Lords division · 12 Jun 2003 · No. 2

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer, before Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Protection of inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 94 Not Contents: 89

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 5 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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 Livsey of Talgarth (Content), Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
