Lords division · 24 Jul 2000 · No. 3

Football (Disorder) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Lucas in Schedule 1, page 5, line 7 to leave out ("must") and insert ("may"); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 17 Not Contents: 22

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 5 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

How the parties voted

Contents

Conservative	10
Liberal Democrat	5
Crossbench	2

Not Contents

Labour	20
Non-affiliated	2

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