Lords division · 6 Jun 2006 · No. 1

Government of Wales Bill

It was moved by the Lord Thomas of Gresford, in Clause 93, page 51, line 2, to leave out from “competence” to end of line 24 and insert “unless it relates to one or more of the reserved matters specified in Schedule (Reserved matters)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 78

Contents: 56 Not Contents: 134

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 78 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 Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Lord Thomas of Gresford (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
