Lords division · 20 Apr 2004 · No. 4

Energy Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, in Clause 11, page 10, line 7, to leave out “a devolved administration” and insert “by a devolved administration in relation to its territory”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 9

Contents: 90 Not Contents: 99

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 Dixon-Smith (Content), Lord Skelmersdale (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
