Lords division · 8 Nov 2000 · No. 6

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley in Schedule 3, page 56, line 11, to leave out (“an independent”) and to insert (“a”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 74

Contents: 30 Not Contents: 104

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 74 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 Glentoran (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
