Lords division · 30 Jan 2006 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, after Clause 23, to insert the new Clause (Functions of the Secretary of State in respect of disclosure of information); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 0

Contents: 155 Not Contents: 155

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 0 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Crickhowell (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
