Lords division · 10 Jul 2003 · No. 3

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 121, page 74, line 30, at beginning to insert “Subject to the terms of section 127(2A),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 130 Not Contents: 180

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 50 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: Baroness Blatch (Content), Lord Palmer (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Baroness Barker (Not Content).
