Lords division · 28 Oct 2003 · No. 1

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Campbell-Savours, after Clause 4, to insert the new Clause (Defence: protection of sheep in sheep grazing area in designated National Park); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 104 Not Contents: 68

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 36 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 Randall of St Budeaux (Content), Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Content), Baroness Byford (Not Content), Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Not Content).
