Lords division · 9 May 2006 · No. 2

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Freeman, in Clause 156, page 69, line 9, to leave out from “act” to end of line 28 and insert “, in good faith, in what he considers to be in the interests of the company”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 52

Contents: 104 Not Contents: 156

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 52 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).
