Lords division · 2 May 2006 · No. 1

House Committee

It was moved by the Chairman of Committees that the First Report of the House Committee be agreed to; then it was moved by the Lord Barnett, as an amendment thereto, at end to insert “except that the annual salary of the Lord Speaker should be the same as the annual salary of the Chairman of Committees (£79,382 at 1st April 2005)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 108 Not Contents: 162

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Trefgarne (Content), Lord Barnett (Content), Baroness Gould of Potternewton (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
