Lords division · 11 Nov 2004 · No. 2

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Donoughue, in Clause 47, page 19, line 18, at end to insert “other than an order under section (Commencement) which shall not be subject to parliamentary proceedings”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 126

Contents: 175 Not Contents: 49

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 126 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 Monro of Langholm (Content), Lord Donoughue (Content), Baroness Gale (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
