Wednesday 1st December 2021 Lords Chamber

Amendment to the Motion not moved.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

The Question is that the original Motion be agreed to. As many as are of that opinion say “Content”.

[Noble Lords]

Content.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

To the contrary “Not content”.

[Noble Lords]

Not-Content.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

I think the Contents have it.

[Noble Lords]

Not-Content!

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

The Question will be decided by a Division. I instruct the Clerk to start the clock.

[Noble Lords]

Oh!

[Noble Lords]

Content!

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

To the contrary “Not-Content”.

[Noble Lords]

Not-Content!

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux)]

I think the Contents have it.
