Lords division · 24 Mar 2005 · No. 2

Mental Capacity Bill

It was moved by the Earl Howe, in Clause 11, page 7, line 24, to leave out from “treatment,” to “and” in line 25; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 100

Contents: 18 Not Contents: 118

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 100 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Morris of Bolton (Content), Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
