Lords division · 15 Mar 2005 · No. 2

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 2, 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 14

Contents: 209 Not Contents: 195

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 14 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
