Identity Cards Bill

It was moved by the Lord Armstrong of Ilminster, as an amendment to Motion A, at end to insert “but do propose Amendments 22J and 22K in lieu”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 28

Contents: 219 Not Contents: 191

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 Armstrong of Ilminster (Content), Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
