Lords division · 26 Apr 2004 · No. 5

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 45 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 27

Contents: 87 Not Contents: 114

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 27 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: Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
