Lords division · 8 Jul 2003 · No. 3

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Fowler, in Clause 344, page 301, line 28, at end to insert “only in relation to individuals and bodies corporate domiciled in countries which offer full reciprocal arrangements for British individuals and bodies corporate to own radio and television services”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 84

Contents: 37 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 84 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 Fowler (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
