Lords division · 10 Sep 2003 · No. 3

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Caithness, in Clause 64, page 32, line 26, to leave out “be the same as or different from” and insert “subject to subsection (10A) below, be less than, but not greater than”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 20

Contents: 139 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 20 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: Baroness Blatch (Content), The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
