Lords division · 7 Mar 2006 · No. 2

Compensation Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hunt of Wirral, after Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Apologies, offers of treatment or other redress); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 157 Not Contents: 144

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 13 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
