Lords division · 17 Jan 2006 · No. 2

Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Lloyd of Berwick, in Clause 1, page 1, line 15, to leave out subsection (3); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 126

Contents: 270 Not Contents: 144

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 126 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
