Lords division · 16 Mar 2004 · No. 1

European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, as an amendment to the motion to agree to Commons amendment 1A, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 44

Contents: 174 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 44 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
