Lords division · 16 Nov 2004 · No. 1

Civil Contingencies Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 23, page 17, line 2, to leave out from “service” to end of line 4; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 138 Not Contents: 200

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 62 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (136)
