Lords division · 5 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Caithness, in Clause 18, page 11, line 1, to leave out (“may”) and insert (“shall”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 55

Contents: 64 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 55 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), The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
