Lords division · 20 Dec 2004 · No. 1

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, before Clause 15, to insert the new Clause (House of Lords as a Supreme Court); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 133 Not Contents: 199

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 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 Seccombe (Content), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
