Lords division · 17 Dec 2003 · No. 1

Procedure Committee Report

It was moved by the Lord Carter, as an amendment to the motion that the First Report from the Select Committee be agreed to, after “That” to insert “, with the omission of paragraphs 4, 5 and 6,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 30

Contents: 122 Not Contents: 152

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 30 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Carter (Content), Lord Tomlinson (Content), Lord Trefgarne (Not Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Not Content).
