Lords division · 28 Oct 2003 · No. 4

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Roper that the House do now resume; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 74 Not Contents: 34

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 40 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

How the parties voted

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 Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
