Lords division · 6 Nov 2000 · No. 2

Disqualifications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Lamont of Lerwick, after Clause 1, to insert the new Clause (Disqualification from ministerial office in the United Kingdom (No. 3)); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 22 Not Contents: 75

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 53 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
