Lords division · 8 Nov 2000 · No. 5

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Laird, in Schedule 3, page 55, line 39, to leave out (“in the case of an independent member,”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 75

Contents: 31 Not Contents: 106

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 75 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).
