Lords division · 16 Nov 2004 · No. 2

Civil Contingencies Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 23, page 17, line 16, at end to insert: “(c) the Habeas Corpus Act 1816 (c. 100), (d) section 7 of the Parliament Act 1911 (c. 13) (duration of Parliament), (e) the Bill of Rights 1689 (1 Will & Mar. Sess. 2, c. 2), (f) the Act of Settlement 1700 (c. 2), (g) the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 (c. 25), (h) the Life Peerages Act 1958 (c. 21), and (i) the House of Lords Act 1999 (c. 34).”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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).
