Lords division · 10 Jan 2006 · No. 1

Road Safety Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Scott of Needham Market, after Clause 19, to insert the new Clause (National speed limit for villages); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 82

Contents: 76 Not Contents: 158

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 82 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 Scott of Needham Market (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
