Lords division · 7 Jul 2004 · No. 3

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

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Clause 23, page 27, line 3, to leave out from “company” to end of line 7 and insert “may also be a charity”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 11

Contents: 94 Not Contents: 105

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 11 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 Skelmersdale (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
