Lords division · 1 Feb 2006 · No. 2

Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 8, page 9, line 28, at end to insert: ( ) In proceedings against a person for an offence under this section it is a defence for him to show that he had at no time while attending at that place intended to further any of the purposes specified in subsection (1)(c) or to assist other persons to further such purposes.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 79 Not Contents: 145

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
