Lords division · 24 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish, in Clause 103, page 66, line 2 to leave out from (“applies”) to (“specify”) in line 3 and insert (“the Commission shall”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 98 Not Contents: 160

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 62 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Contents (96)
