Commons Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, in Clause 25, page 14, line 42, at end to insert: ( ) Regulations under subsection (1) which require the keeping of electronic registers will be funded centrally.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Contents: 88 Not Contents: 128

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: The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord De Mauley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (86)

Not Contents (126)

Tellers (4)
