Lords division · 22 Feb 2000 · No. 1

Greater London Authority Election Rules 2000

It was moved by the Lord Whitty that the draft Order be approved; then it was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish as an amendment thereto to leave out all the words after “That” and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Order laid before it on 3rd February and calls on Her Majesty’s Government to lay an Order which provides that candidates are allowed one freepost delivery per household”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 65

Contents: 215 Not Contents: 150

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 65 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Henley (Content), Lord Harris of Greenwich (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
