It was moved by the Lord Goodhart to leave out Clause 1; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 118

Contents: 55 Not Contents: 173

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 Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
