Lords division · 30 Oct 2000 · No. 2

Transport Bill

It was moved by the Earl Attlee, in Clause 224, page 138, line 22, at end to insert (“; and(d) the desirability of providing a financial incentive for relevant operators to run or allow the running of more trains and for a fair division of responsibility for train delays, but no policies will be adopted that will have the effect of imposing the disproportionate penalties or materially altering the parameters within which an existing franchise was granted”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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: Baroness Hanham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
