Lords division · 17 Jan 2006 · No. 3

Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 2, page 2, line 45, at end to insert: ( ) A person commits an offence under this section if he disseminates a terrorist publication and either— (a) he does so with the intention of directly or indirectly encouraging or inducing the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, or of providing information with a view to its use in the commission or preparation of such acts, or (b) he is reckless as to whether the dissemination of that publication will have such an effect.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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).
