Lords division · 7 Dec 2004 · No. 3

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Viscount Bledisloe, in Clause 1, page 1, line 13, to leave out subsections (4) to (6); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 128 Not Contents: 178

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 50 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Viscount Bledisloe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), Lord Triesman (Not Content).
