Lords division · 25 Jan 2006 · No. 2

Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Sewel, in Clause 23, page 23, line 5, to leave out 28” and insert 60”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 102

Contents: 108 Not Contents: 210

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 102 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Golding (Content), Lord Hogg of Cumbernauld (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
