Lords division · 24 Jul 2000 · No. 2

Local Government [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Young, as an amendment to the Motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their amendment 377; to leave out "agree" and insert "disagree"; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 42

Contents: 270 Not Contents: 228

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 42 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), Baroness Young (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
