Lords division · 11 Nov 2004 · No. 1

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Tunnicliffe, in Clause 1, page 1, line 6, after “registered” to insert “for the purpose of pest control”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 150

Contents: 39 Not Contents: 189

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 150 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Carter (Content), Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Content), Lord Denham (Not Content), Lord Monro of Langholm (Not Content).
