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 Contents have it

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).

Every vote

Contents (143)
