Lords division · 12 Oct 2005 · No. 2

Charities Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Schedule 1, page 77, line 41, to leave out from “appointment” to end of line 42 and insert “and retention of other staff must as regards remuneration be within the total remuneration budget agreed annually with the Treasury”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 166 Not Contents: 134

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 32 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 Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (164)
