Lords division · 13 Nov 2000 · No. 2

Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 3, page 3, line 2, at end to insert (“, including preparing such a person to engage in sexual activity with him at a later stage,”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 139 Not Contents: 124

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 15 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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: Baroness Blatch (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Baroness Hilton of Eggardon (Not Content), Earl Russell (Not Content).
