Lords division · 31 Oct 2000 · No. 6

Criminal Justice and Court Services Bill

It was moved by the Lord Windlesham, in Clause 7, page 4, line 30, at end to insert (“, provided that no such direction shall merge the functions of the Chief Inspector with those of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

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), Lord Dholakia (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (186)
