Lords division · 25 Mar 2004 · No. 1

Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Campbell of Alloway, in Clause 5, page 3, line 20, at end to insert “, but in the interests of natural justice— (a) the prosecution shall have provided particulars of grounds and circumstances in support of allegations that either alternative applies to enable D to know the substance of the case to answer at the trial charged with this unitary offence having regard to the disparity of criminal conduct under the first alternative on which D committed the act which occasioned death as compared with the diverse quality of criminal complicity under the second alternative on which such act was committed by another of which D ought to have been aware foreseen and prevented; and (b) on conviction a verdict which identifies the relevant alternative shall be returned so that the basis of the conviction shall be known.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 111

Contents: 34 Not Contents: 145

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 111 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 Campbell of Alloway (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
