Lords division · 22 Nov 2005 · No. 4

Road Safety Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, after Clause 17, to insert the new Clause (Motorways: maximum speed); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 107

Contents: 56 Not Contents: 163

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 107 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
