Lords division · 21 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Shore of Stepney, in Clause 52, page 38, to leave out lines 23 and 24; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 44

Contents: 96 Not Contents: 140

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 44 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 Marsh (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (94)

Not Contents (138)

Tellers (4)
