Lords division · 7 Jun 2006 · No. 3

Electoral Administration Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 60, page 65, line 39, to leave out “ought reasonably to have known” and insert “was reckless as to whether or not he knew”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 11

Contents: 115 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 11 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), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
