Lords division · 16 Nov 2005 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 1, page 1, line 10, after “others” to insert “who reasonably require proof”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 14

Contents: 141 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 14 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Wilcox (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (139)

Not Contents (125)
