Lords division · 3 Feb 2004 · No. 1

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 2, page 1, line 8, at end to insert: “( ) In section 3 of the 2002 Act (makeup of the Commission)— (a) in subsection (5)(a), for “five” substitute “six”, and (b) in subsection (5)(c), for “five” substitute “four”.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 41

Contents: 115 Not Contents: 156

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 41 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
