Lords division · 8 Mar 2005 · No. 6

Prevention of Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in the Schedule, page 20, line 11, to leave out from beginning to end of line 3 on page 21 and insert: “( ) The rules of court must comply with the United Kingdom’s obligations under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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), Lord Goodhart (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
