Lords division · 17 Jun 2003 · No. 2

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 24, page 11, line 21, to leave out “regularly”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 80

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 149

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 80 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: Baroness Blatch (Content), Baroness Miller of Hendon (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
