Lords division · 15 Nov 2005 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, in Clause 1, page 1, line 9, to leave out “convenient”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 28

Contents: 15 Not Contents: 43

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 28 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative	13
Crossbench	2

Not Contents

Labour	39
Crossbench	3
Non-affiliated	1

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 Luke (Content), Baroness Morris of Bolton (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
