Lords division · 9 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Transport Bill

It was moved by the Lord Swinfen, in Clause 108, page 67, line 24, at end to insert: (“( ) In developing policies in respect of transport facilities and services of the kind mentioned in subsection (2)(a), each local transport authority shall take account of the need to secure that proper arrangements are made—(a) to enable persons who are disabled to transfer in safety and comfort between different modes of transport; and (b) to ensure that such persons have safe, comfortable and effective access to stations and other transport interchange facilities.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 23

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 92

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 23 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 Swinfen (Content), Lord Ashley of Stoke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
