Lords division · 8 Mar 2006 · No. 1

Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hanham, in Clause 1, page 1, line 7, to leave out from “on” to end of line 8 and to insert “a date prior to the making of any order under section 5(4) and (4A) of this Act”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 91

Contents: 95 Not Contents: 186

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 91 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
