Lords division · 23 Jun 2003 · No. 2

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, in Clause 3, page 3, line 29, at end to insert: “( ) the application, in the case of electronic communications network services, of standards that provide adequate protection to members of the public and all other persons from unwarranted infringements of privacy resulting from activities carried on for the purposes of such services;”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 99 Not Contents: 160

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 61 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: Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Northbrook (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (97)
