Lords division · 30 Nov 2005 · No. 2

Commons Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, in Clause 38, page 21, line 29, after first or” to insert materially”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 39

Contents: 98 Not Contents: 137

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 39 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).

Every vote

Contents (96)

Not Contents (135)

Tellers (4)
