Lords division · 4 Nov 2003 · No. 3

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, before Clause 81, to insert the new Clause (Evidence of bad character); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 71

Contents: 182 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 71 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), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
