Lords division · 24 Jun 2003 · No. 1

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness O’Cathain, after Clause 30, to insert the new Clause (Appeals against enforcement orders); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 123 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 3 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative 68
Liberal Democrat 36
Crossbench 13
Non-affiliated 4
Ulster Unionist Party 1
Green Party 1

Not Contents

Labour 102
Crossbench 10
Non-affiliated 8

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 O'Cathain (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Haskel (Not Content), Baroness Hilton of Eggardon (Not Content).
