Lords division · 28 Oct 2003 · No. 2

Hunting Bill

On question, whether Clause 5 stand part of the bill, the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 59 Not Contents: 129

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 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 Faulkner of Worcester (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Content), The Earl of Caithness (Not Content), Lord Mancroft (Not Content).
