Lords division · 24 Feb 2004 · No. 1

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 2, page 1, line 10, to leave out “must set out” and insert “shall have regard to”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 42

Contents: 165 Not Contents: 123

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 42 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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).
