CONTENTS AND NOT-CONTENTS
When a debate is concluded, or an amendment discussed, 
the Speaker will read out the motion again, and say 'as 
many as are of that opinion will say Content - the 
contrary Not-Content.' If at this point there are cries of 
both 'Content' and 'Not-Content', then the Speaker calls '
Clear the Bar' - and a division, or formal vote, takes 
place. The Lords then register their votes, as in the 
Commons, by walking through the appropriate Division 
Lobby, where their names are recorded and counted by 'tellers' appointed by each side. The Speaker then reads the result of the Division.

In practice, the great majority of divisions in the Lords take place on amendments to Government bills.
