Lords division · 8 Jul 2003 · No. 2

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 16, page 18, line 5, to leave out from “matter” to end; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 17

Contents: 158 Not Contents: 141

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 17 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Liberal Democrat 41

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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Vivian (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (156)

Not Contents (139)

Tellers (4)
