Lords division · 14 Dec 2005 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 18, page 17, line 2, at end to insert: ( ) It shall be unlawful for any person imposing any condition or requirement in relation to or on an individual in cases falling within subsection (2) to discriminate against such a person or group of persons on any grounds, including disability, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnic or national origins, colour, race, citizenship or immigration status.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 105 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 15 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: Baroness Morris of Bolton (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
