Lords division · 24 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Local Government [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, as an amendment to the Motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their amendment 10, to leave out "agree" and insert "disagree"; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 52

Contents: 169 Not Contents: 221

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 52 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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

Every vote

Contents (167)
