Lords division · 22 Feb 2005 · No. 1

Electoral Registration (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Shutt of Greetland, after Clause 2, to insert the new Clause (Rolling registration); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 79

Contents: 61 Not Contents: 140

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 79 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 Glentoran (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
