Lords division · 16 Jul 2003 · No. 2

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, to leave out Clause 26; ; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 111 Not Contents: 117

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 6 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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).

Every vote

Contents (109)

Not Contents (115)

Tellers (4)
