Lords division · 17 Nov 2004 · No. 5

Hunting Bill

It was moved by the Lord Whitty that the Commons Suggested Amendment be agreed to; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 118 Not Contents: 154

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 36 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 Faulkner of Worcester (Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Content), Lord Mancroft (Not Content), Lord Willoughby de Broke (Not Content).
