Lords division · 8 Mar 2004 · No. 1

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, as an amendment to the motion that the bill be committed to a Committee of the Whole House, to leave out “Committee of the Whole House” and insert “Select Committee”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 33

Contents: 216 Not Contents: 183

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 33 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
