Lords division · 5 Nov 2003 · No. 1

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Dholakia, in Clause 136, page 82, line 21, at end to insert: “(8) This section shall not come into effect before the national roll-out of the “custody plus order” under sections 163 and 164.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 9

Contents: 129 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 9 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 Skelmersdale (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
