Lords division · 9 Jul 2003 · No. 2

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Warner, after Clause 58, to insert the new Clause (Fluoridation of water supplies); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 122

Contents: 153 Not Contents: 31

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 122 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 Faulkner of Worcester (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Content), Earl Baldwin of Bewdley (Not Content), Lord Beaumont of Whitley (Not Content).
