Lords division · 10 Feb 2004 · No. 2

Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Maginnis of Drumglass to leave out Clause 5; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 89

Contents: 81 Not Contents: 170

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 89 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: Viscount Brookeborough (Content), Lord Cooke of Islandreagh (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
