Lords division · 10 Feb 2004 · No. 3

Gender Recognition Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness O’Cathain, before Clause 19, to insert the new Clause (Religion); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 149

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 5 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: Baroness O'Cathain (Content), Lord Palmer (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
