Lords division · 20 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Disqualifications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley to leave out Clause 1; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 13

Contents: 165 Not Contents: 152

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 13 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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 Northbrook (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (163)

Not Contents (150)

Tellers (4)
