Lords division · 30 Oct 2000 · No. 1

Transport Bill

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith in Clause 136, page 83, line 26 to leave out from ("scheme") to end of line 27; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 44

Contents: 57 Not Contents: 101

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 44 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).
