Lords division · 8 Nov 2000 · No. 3

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Laird, in Clause 70, page 37, line 6, at end insert: (“ ( ) The foundation shall— (a) make provision to support the development of the RUC Widow’s Association and the RUC Benevolent Fund; (b) make provisions for injured police officers, retired officers and their families.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 84

Contents: 50 Not Contents: 134

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 84 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 Laird (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
