Lords division · 18 Mar 2004 · No. 1

European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with Commons amendment 1C, at end to insert “but do make Amendment 1D thereto”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 29

Contents: 135 Not Contents: 106

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 29 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
