It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Schedule 1, page 109, line 17, at end to insert “using an electoral system to be specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 92 Not Contents: 76

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 16 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
