Lords division · 12 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish, in Clause 49, page 29, line 32, at end to insert (“or eligible to be registered in an electoral register”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 48

Contents: 55 Not Contents: 103

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 48 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 Bach (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).
