Lords division · 27 Oct 2003 · No. 3

Extradition Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 65, page 33, line 26, to leave out “12 months” and insert “3 years”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 8

Contents: 115 Not Contents: 107

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 8 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
