Lords division · 12 Oct 2005 · No. 3

Charities Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Swinfen, in Clause 7, page 7, line 20, to leave out “, so far as relevant,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 51

Contents: 79 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 51 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

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 Howard of Rising (Content), Lord Swinfen (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (77)
