Lords division · 3 Nov 2003 · No. 2

Anti-social Behaviour Bill

It was moved by the Lord Moynihan, in Clause 44, page 36, line 34, at end to insert: “(5) It is not an offence under section 22(4) of this Act for a person of or over the age of fourteen to have with him an air gun or ammunition in a public place provided that— (a) the air gun or rifle is so covered by a securely fastened gun cover that it cannot be used; (b) the gun cover is securely locked and the key kept separately from the gun; (c) the air gun or rifle pellets are carried separately from the gun; (d) the person is travelling directly to or from a place at which he can lawfully use the air gun or where it has been kept on his behalf.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
