Lords division · 11 Mar 2004 · No. 2

Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 (Renewal of Temporary Provisions) Order 2004

It was moved by the Lord Laird, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Order be approved, to leave out all the words after “That” and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Order laid before the House on 12th February”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Contents: 45 Not Contents: 134

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 89 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: Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Content), Lord Laird (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
