Lords division · 7 Dec 2004 · No. 1

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, before Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Lord Chancellor: membership of the House of Lords); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

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), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), Lord Triesman (Not Content).
