Lords division · 8 Nov 2005 · No. 1

Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

It was moved by the Lord Avebury, after Clause 2, to insert the new Clause (Abolition of certain religious offences); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 113 Not Contents: 153

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 40 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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
