Lords division · 2 Jul 2003 · No. 1

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Gordon of Strathblane, in Clause 312, page 275, line 37, to leave out “unsuitable advertising” and insert “which may be misleading, harmful or offensive”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 41

Contents: 158 Not Contents: 117

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 41 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Gordon of Strathblane (Content), The Lord Thomson of Monifieth (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
