Lords division · 23 May 2006 · No. 3

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts to leave out Clause 876; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 125 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 5 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Razzall (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (124)

Not Contents (118)

Tellers (4)
