Lords division · 28 Sep 2000 · No. 1

Criminal Justice (Mode of Trial) [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Williams of Mostyn that the bill be now read a second time; then it was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley to leavout ("now") and insert ("this day Six months"); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 96

Contents: 184 Not Contents: 88

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 96 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).
