Lords division · 7 Nov 2000 · No. 2

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Lord Brittan of Spennithorne, after Clause 13, to insert the new Clause (Indemnity for costs of access); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 123 Not Contents: 159

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 36 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 Brittan of Spennithorne (Content), Viscount Bledisloe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
