Lords division · 12 Jul 2004 · No. 2

Fire and Rescue Services Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, in Clause 3, page 3, line 34, at end to insert: “( ) All members of a combined fire and rescue authority constituted under a scheme under section 2 shall be elected members of a constituent authority.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 27

Contents: 103 Not Contents: 130

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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
