Lords division · 26 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Transport Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Thomas of Walliswood, in Clause 5, page 4, line 8, to leave out from beginning to second (“the”) in line 11 and to insert (“a not for profit company, formed and registered as a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act 1985 or”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 35

Contents: 59 Not Contents: 94

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 35 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 Smith of Clifton (Content), Baroness Thomas of Walliswood (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
