Lords division · 13 Nov 2003 · No. 8

Water Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 90, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 47

Contents: 14 Not Contents: 61

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 47 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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 Duke of Montrose (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
