Lords division · 10 Nov 2004 · No. 3

Children Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Thomas of Gresford, as an amendment to Commons Amendment 22, in line 25, at end to insert: “(8) Nothing in this section affects the additional power of consideration and representation granted to the Children’s Commissioner for Wales by section 75A of the Care Standards Act 2000 (c. 14).”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 27

Contents: 66 Not Contents: 93

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 Livsey of Talgarth (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
