Lords division · 17 Nov 2003 · No. 1

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Ackner, before Clause 241, to insert the new Clause (Amendment to Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 24

Contents: 92 Not Contents: 116

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 24 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Hylton (Content), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
