Lords division · 16 Jul 2003 · No. 1

Communications Bill

It was moved by the Lord McIntosh of Haringey that the House do not insist on its Amendment 130 to which the Commons have disagreed and do agree with the Commons in their Amendments 130A to 130L in lieu thereof; then, it was moved by the Baroness Wilcox as an amendment to the motion to leave out from “House” to the end and insert “do insist on its Amendment 130”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 111 Not Contents: 165

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
