How the Lords voted

The House of Lords is Parliament’s second chamber. Its members, called peers, are appointed rather than elected. They can ask MPs to think again about a law, but the Commons usually has the last word.

In the Lords, “Content” means yes and “Not content” means no. Many peers belong to no party, so we show totals by group and do not rank individual peers.
