Lords division · 23 Nov 2000 · No. 3

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, in Clause 13, page 8, line 42, leave out from (“any”) to (“is”) in line 43 and insert (“feature which has grown naturally or which has been constructed or retained for the purpose of any normal use of the land”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 104

Contents: 68 Not Contents: 172

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 104 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 Glentoran (Content), Lord Northbrook (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote
