Lords division · 26 Apr 2006 · No. 1

Violent Crimes Reduction Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 12, page 10, line 24, to leave out “may” and insert “shall”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 23

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 96

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 23 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).
