Lords division · 30 Nov 2005 · No. 1

Commons Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, in Clause 32, page 18, line 28, after of” to insert reasonable”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 17

Contents: 123 Not Contents: 140

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 17 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 Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
