Lords division · 24 Jun 2003 · No. 3

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness O’Cathain, after Clause 61, to insert the new Clause (Water resource management plans and drought plans: implementation); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 29 Not Contents: 34

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 5 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness O'Cathain (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
