Lords division · 2 Jul 2003 · No. 2

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Crickhowell, before Clause 340, to insert the new Clause (Interim retention of certain restrictions on non-EEA ownership); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 11

Contents: 116 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 11 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 Crickhowell (Content), Lord McNally (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
