Lords division · 10 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Norton of Louth, in Clause 12, page 8, line 30, to leave out from (“Kingdom”) to end of line 39 and insert (“; and(b) any electoral system that has been authorised by enactment, but is not yet in force, for use at the next national or local election”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 59

Contents: 70 Not Contents: 129

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 59 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 Henley (Content), Lord Norton of Louth (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
