Lords division · 25 Mar 2004 · No. 10

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 99, page 74, line 16, to leave out “will facilitate” and insert “is necessary for”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 26 Not Contents: 39

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 13 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), Lord Hanningfield (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
