Lords division · 15 Jul 2004 · No. 2

Children Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Howe of Idlicote, in Clause 5, page 4, line 22, to leave out “direct” and insert “request”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 102 Not Contents: 112

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 10 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: Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
