Lords division · 10 Sep 2003 · No. 1

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, in Clause 11, page 5, line 35, to leave out paragraph (b); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 133 Not Contents: 118

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 15 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Luke (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (131)

Not Contents (116)

Tellers (4)
