Lords division · 6 Mar 2006 · No. 1

Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, as an amendment to Motion D, to leave out from “House” to end and insert “do insist on its Amendments 16 and 22”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 227 Not Contents: 166

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 61 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
