Lords division · 7 Apr 2005 · No. 2

Inquiries Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland to disagree with Commons amendments 2 and 3 en bloc; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 48

Contents: 87 Not Contents: 135

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 48 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative 77
Crossbench 6

Lord Speaker 1

Not Contents

Labour 102
Crossbench 15

Liberal Democrat 8

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).

Every vote

Contents (85)

Not Contents (133)

Tellers (4)
