Lords division · 3 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 2, page 2, line 24, at end to insert:(“( ) before doing so, he informs himself, so far as is reasonably practicable, by means of information provided at designated access points, or otherwise, of any restrictions imposed (under Chapter II) in relation to the land,”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 80 Not Contents: 150

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 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 (78)

Not Contents (148)

Tellers (4)
