Lords division · 15 Mar 2006 · No. 2

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, in Clause 1, page 1, line 7, after “as” to insert “the Commission for”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 139

Contents: 76 Not Contents: 215

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 139 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 Dixon-Smith (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
