Lords division · 7 Feb 2005 · No. 1

International Organisations Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Rawlings, in Clause 5, page 3, line 38, at end to insert: “( ) This section comes into force the day after Her Majesty’s Government have initiated a review within the Council of the European Union of the privileges and immunities which ought to be extended to the bodies and persons to which this section applies.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 27

Contents: 103 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 27 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).
