Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Clause 24, page 21, line 24 to leave out Secretary of State must” and insert crown must, on the recommendation of the Secretary of State,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 17

Contents: 155 Not Contents: 138

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 17 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 Crickhowell (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
