Lords division · 24 Apr 2006 · No. 1

National Lottery Bill

It was moved by the Viscount Astor, in Clause 7, page 5, line 13, to leave out “prescribed”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 118 Not Contents: 116

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 2 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (116)

Not Contents (114)

Tellers (4)
