Lords division · 16 Oct 2000 · No. 2

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, after Clause 67, to insert the following new Clause (Compulsory acquisition of land by Nature Conservancy for establishment of nature reserves); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 47

Contents: 78 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 47 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 (76)

Not Contents (123)
