Lords division · 26 Apr 2004 · No. 3

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hamwee, as an amendment to the motion that the House do not insist on its amendments 4 and 5 en bloc to which the Commons have disagreed, to leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 105 Not Contents: 118

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 Dholakia (Content), Baroness Maddock (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), Lord Triesman (Not Content).

Every vote
