Lords division · 1 Mar 2004 · No. 1

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, in Clause 23, page 13, line 15, to leave out “(other than a development plan document)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 138 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 13 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), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
