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 22M, 22N and 22O in lieu”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 227

Contents: 287 Not Contents: 60

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 227 votes. The Government's position was 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 Armstrong of Ilminster (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Content), Lord Addington (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (285)
