Lords division · 10 May 2006 · No. 1

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Clause 427, page 196, line 22, to leave out second “accountant’s” and insert “independent examiner’s”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 142 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 22 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 Addington (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (140)

Not Contents (118)

Tellers (4)
