Lords division · 8 Jul 2003 · No. 1

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Lord McNally, in Clause 3, page 3, line 8, at end to insert “with due regard to the qualifications and limitations contained in paragraph 6A of Schedule 14”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 30

Contents: 137 Not Contents: 167

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 30 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).
