Lords division · 28 Jun 2004 · No. 2

Mersey Tunnels Bill

It was moved by the Lord Smith of Leigh that the bill do now pass; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 75 Not Contents: 65

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 10 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Faulkner of Worcester (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Henley (Not Content), Earl of Northesk (Not Content).
