Lords division · 10 Sep 2003 · No. 2

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, before Clause 25, to insert the new Clause (Application of provisions of this Part); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 19

Contents: 145 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 19 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 (143)

Not Contents (124)
