Lords division · 24 Feb 2004 · No. 2

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 2, page 1, line 14, at end to insert: “(3A) The RSS must include sub-regional plans for all parts of the region in accordance with geographical boundaries defined by the RPB. (3B) The sub-regional plans referred to in subsection (3A) shall be prepared by the authorities falling within section 5(1) if their area or any part of their area is in the defined sub-region.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 52

Contents: 160 Not Contents: 108

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 52 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).
