Ballot amendments and debate shape late session actions
In a gripping Lords debate the Duke of Richmond’s ballot amendments pass and the government clings to secrecy and polling safeguards. Divisions show votes 162 to 91 on one measure and 83 to 67 on another, with later shifts keeping polling open until eight. Lords clash over despotism and procedural conduct as the bill advances with amendments.
