Lords division · 22 Mar 2004 · No. 2

Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Schedule 10, page 186, line 29, at end to insert “at least one of whom shall have specialised policing knowledge”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 9

Contents: 84 Not Contents: 93

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 9 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
