Lords division · 14 Jul 2003 · No. 2

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 34, page 22, line 41, at end to insert: “(4) In the event of the expert evidence of a person named in subsection (1) above not being relied upon by the accused, and no copy of his report having been served by the accused on the prosecutor, no reference shall be made at trial by the prosecutor or evidence adduced by him, to the effect that the accused had approached such a person for his expert opinion.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 18

Contents: 29 Not Contents: 47

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 18 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Dholakia (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
