Lords division · 22 Mar 2005 · No. 3

Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, in Clause 20, page 10, line 28, to leave out subsection (6); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 8

Contents: 134 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 8 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), Baroness Wilcox (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (132)

Not Contents (124)
