Lords division · 17 Nov 2004 · No. 1

Civil Partnership Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness O’Cathain, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 1, at end to insert “and do propose amendments 1A and 1B in lieu of the words so left out of the bill”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 115

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 251

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 115 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: Baroness O'Cathain (Content), Lord Palmer (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
