Lords division · 24 Nov 1999 · No. 1

Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech

It was moved by the Lord Strathclyde, as an amendment to the Humble Address, at end to insert “but regret the failure of Your Majesty’s Government to reduce the burden of taxation and regulation and deplore the incoherence and the lack of vision of the measures proposed by Your Majesty’s Government for the coming Session of Parliament.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 4

Contents: 164 Not Contents: 168

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 4 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (162)

Not Contents (166)

Tellers (4)
