Lords division · 29 Oct 2003 · No. 3

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 21, page 16, line 43, to leave out paragraphs (a) and (b); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 50 Not Contents: 65

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 15 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
