Lords division · 10 Feb 2004 · No. 1

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 4, page 3, line 8, at end to insert: “( ) Any specification by the Prime Minister under subsection (3)(a) in relation to recommendations from the First and Deputy First Minister must specify that the recommendation shall contain no fewer than three candidates.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 156

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 50 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).
