Lords division · 15 Mar 2005 · No. 1

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 1, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 215 Not Contents: 199

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 16 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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).
