Lords division · 28 Feb 2005 · No. 2

Inquiries Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 10, page 4, line 14, to leave out “first consult” and insert “obtain the consent to that appointment of”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 18

Contents: 149 Not Contents: 131

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 18 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
