Lords division · 12 Nov 2003 · No. 2

Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Modification) (No. 2) Order 2003

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Order be approved, at end to insert “but this House notes that the Order may lead to increased use of cannabis with risks to the health of young people and regrets that the Order is being made before the Government’s proposals concerning Class C drugs have been finalised”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 17

Contents: 78 Not Contents: 61

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 17 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: The Duke of Montrose (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
