Lords division · 8 Nov 2000 · No. 2

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Rogan, in Clause 1, page 1, line 8, to leave out from (“shall”) to end of line 11 and to insert (“be styled as “The Royal Ulster Constabulary—Police Service of Northern Ireland””); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 99

Contents: 99 Not Contents: 198

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 99 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 Henley (Content), Lord Rogan (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
