Lords division · 23 Jan 2006 · No. 2

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns to leave out Clause 6; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 58

Contents: 198 Not Contents: 140

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 58 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), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
