Lords division · 14 Oct 2003 · No. 5

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, after Clause 283, to insert the new Clause (Duty of probation officers to consult with magistrates); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 10 Not Contents: 12

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 2 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative	6
Liberal Democrat	4

Not Contents

Labour	10
Crossbench	1
Non-affiliated	1

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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
