Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart that this House calls on Her Majesty’s Government to withdraw the draft Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003 and lay a new draft Order deleting the reference to the United States of America in paragraph 3 of the Order; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 50 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 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 Goodhart (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (48)

Not Contents (118)
