Lords division · 20 Dec 2004 · No. 2

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 15, page 7, line 5, at end to insert “situated within the Palace of Westminster, but not entitled to use the chamber of the House of Lords for the hearing of appeals or the giving of judgments.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 126 Not Contents: 190

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 64 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
