Lords division · 25 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Football (Disorder) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Williams of Mostyn, That Standing Order 46 (No two stages of a bill to be taken on one day) be dispensed with today to allow the Football (Disorder) Bill to be taken through its remaining stages, and again on Friday next to allow the Finance Bill to be taken through its remaining stages that day; then it was moved by the Lord Marlesford, as an amendment thereto. Line 2, to leave out "today to allow the Football (Disorder) Bill to be taken through its remaining stages, and again"; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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 Marlesford (Content), Lord McNally (Content), Lord Bach (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).
