Lords division · 13 Nov 2003 · No. 5

Sexual Offences Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Thomas of Gresford, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 1, at end to insert “but do propose the following amendment in lieu of the words so left out of the bill: insert the new Clause (Anonymity of suspects and defendants in certain cases (No. 2))”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 101 Not Contents: 79

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 22 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 Astor of Hever (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
