Lords division · 30 Oct 2003 · No. 2

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goldsmith to leave out Clause 47; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 7

Contents: 104 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 7 votes. The Government's position was 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 Davies of Oldham (Content), Lord Grocott (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Lord Dholakia (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (102)

Not Contents (109)

Tellers (4)
