Lords division · 24 Mar 2005 · No. 1

Procedure Committee Report

It was moved by the Lord Rodgers of Quarry Bank, as an amendment to the motion that the First Report from the Select Committee be agreed to, at end to insert “but with the omission of paragraph 20(a)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 37

Contents: 98 Not Contents: 135

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 37 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Maclennan of Rogart (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
