Lords division · 29 Oct 2003 · No. 2

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Dholakia, after Clause 9, to insert the new Clause (Destruction of fingerprints and samples); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 103 Not Contents: 101

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 2 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
