Lords division · 1 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Caithness, in Clause 1, page 2, line 21, at end to insert:(“(3) It shall be the duty of the appropriate countryside body to set out clear definitions of moor, heath and down.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 127 Not Contents: 159

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 32 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: The Earl of Caithness (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
