Lords division · 19 Nov 2003 · No. 2

Criminal Justice Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral, as an amendment to the motion that the House do not insist on its amendment 33 and do agree with the Commons in their amendments 33A to 33F to the words so restored to the bill, to leave out from “House” to end and insert “do insist on its amendment 33”; 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), Lord Dholakia (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
