Lords division · 21 Mar 2006 · No. 1

Consumer Credit Bill

It was moved by the Lord De Mauley, after Clause 37, to insert the new Clause (OFT’s general duties); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 18

Contents: 132 Not Contents: 150

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 18 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).

Every vote

Contents (130)

Not Contents (148)

Tellers (4)
