Lords division · 9 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran in Schedule 5, page 60, line 18, at end to insert– (" . After section 134(9) of the 1980 Act there is inserted– "(10) All references in this section to a footpath or bridleway shall include a restricted byway."") ; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 65

Contents: 54 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 65 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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
