Lords division · 14 Oct 2003 · No. 3

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Viscount Bridgeman, in Clause 235, page 136, line 39, at end to insert “(where that sentence is less than four years), or two-thirds of his sentence (in any other case)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 1

Contents: 110 Not Contents: 109

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 1 vote. 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).
