Lords division · 21 Oct 2003 · No. 3

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, in Clause 3, page 1, line 11, to leave out “knowingly permits” and insert “gives permission for”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 105

Contents: 127 Not Contents: 22

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 105 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Dixon-Smith (Content), The Duke of Montrose (Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
