Lords division · 13 Jul 2004 · No. 1

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 1, page 1, line 5, at beginning to insert “The Lord Chancellor, other”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 240 Not Contents: 208

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 32 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
