Lords division · 15 Sep 2003 · No. 2

Northern Ireland (Monitoring Commission etc.) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Smith of Clifton, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (Secretary of State’s powers in exceptional circumstances); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 129 Not Contents: 117

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 12 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Smith of Clifton (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (127)
