Lords division · 16 Jan 2006 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Noakes, in Clause 1, page 1, line 3, at beginning to insert Subject to section (Commencement: report on costs and benefits),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 81

Contents: 237 Not Contents: 156

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 81 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (235)

Not Contents (154)
