Lords division · 9 Jul 2003 · No. 1

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer, as an amendment to amendment 1, in line 146, after “below”, to insert “the Secretary of State shall ensure sufficient funding is available for meaningful consultation to take place, and”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 88 Not Contents: 154

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content).
