Lords division · 15 Jul 2004 · No. 1

Children Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, after Clause 3, to insert the new Clause (Functions of the Children’s Commissioner and the Secretary of State as to sharing of information); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 109 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 12 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 Campbell of Alloway (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
