Lords division · 11 Nov 2003 · No. 1

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 247, page 142, line 31, at end to insert: “(7) This section does not apply if the offender was under 18 when he committed the offence.”; 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 Walmsley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
