Lords division · 14 Nov 2000 · No. 4

Freedom of Information Bill

It was moved by the Lord Archer of Sandwell, in Clause 35, page 21, line 25, to leave out (“, in the reasonable opinion of a qualified person,”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 59

Contents: 22 Not Contents: 81

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 59 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 Archer of Sandwell (Content), Baroness Hilton of Eggardon (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
