Lords division · 18 Oct 2005 · No. 1

Charities Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Clause 43, page 46, line 32, at end to insert: “( ) Where the statement in subsection (6)(b) above is false, or appropriate arrangements for discharge of any liabilities have not been made, the relevant charity trustees at the time concerned shall be jointly and severally personally liable for such liabilities.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 24

Contents: 128 Not Contents: 152

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 24 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
