Lords division · 26 Apr 2004 · No. 4

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 amendment 21 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 33

Contents: 92 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 33 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 Addington (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
