Lords division · 4 Mar 2004 · No. 2

Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 1, page 1, line 13, leave out “of the order” and insert “and contents of the order, save that if after becoming aware of the existence of the order the person deliberately evades service of the contents of the order, it will suffice that the person was aware of the existence of the order”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 37

Contents: 42 Not Contents: 79

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 37 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 Bridgeman (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
