Lords division · 17 Nov 2004 · No. 4

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mancroft, as an amendment to the motion that this House do not insist on its Amendment 46, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 46A, at end to insert “but do propose amendment 46C in lieu thereof”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 91

Contents: 176 Not Contents: 85

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 91 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 Mancroft (Content), Lord Willoughby de Broke (Content), Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
