Lords division · 13 Nov 2000 · No. 3

Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 4, page 3, line 34, to leave out (“four”) and insert (“five”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 56 Not Contents: 69

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 13 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), Lord Alli (Not Content), Baroness Hilton of Eggardon (Not Content).
