Lords division · 30 Mar 2004 · No. 1

European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Rennard, as an amendment to the motion that this House do not insist on its amendment 1F, to leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 6 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), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (134)

Not Contents (128)

Tellers (4)
