Lords division · 10 Sep 2003 · No. 4

Local Government Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 77, page 43, line 7, at end to insert “, provided that such change does not alter the ratio between the top and bottom band. (4B) The power under subsection (4A) shall not be used to alter the ratio between the top and bottom bands set out in subsection (1).”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 44

Contents: 105 Not Contents: 149

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 44 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).
