Lords division · 7 Jul 2004 · No. 2

Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 20, page 24, line 7, to leave out “thinks” and insert “reasonably believes”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 83

Contents: 77 Not Contents: 160

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 83 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
