Lords division · 9 Nov 2005 · No. 1

Equality Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Lester of Herne Hill to leave out Clause 45; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 90

Contents: 216 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 90 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).
