Lords division · 28 Oct 2003 · No. 3

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mancroft, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (Tests for registration: utility and least suffering); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 84

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 22

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 84 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 Mancroft (Content), Baroness Mallalieu (Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content).
