Lords division · 17 May 2006 · No. 1

Violent Crimes Reduction Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 13, page 12, line 43, at end to insert: “( ) A local authority may not make an order designating a locality as an alcohol disorder zone if the whole action plan, or the majority of the actions contained therein, is being put into effect.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 4

Contents: 135 Not Contents: 131

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 4 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote
