Lords division · 15 Nov 2000 · No. 3

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Rogan, in Clause 79, page 41, line 20, at end insert (“only after the Secretary of State has made a declaration that all terrorism in Northern Ireland has ended”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 60

Contents: 119 Not Contents: 179

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 60 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 Henley (Content), Lord Cooke of Islandreagh (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (117)

Not Contents (177)
