It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 8, page 6, line 4, to leave out “considers it” and insert “is satisfied on the basis of facts proved on a balance of probabilities that it is”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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: Earl Attlee (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
