Lords division · 23 Nov 2000 · No. 6

Countryside and Rights of Way Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Byford, in Schedule 2, page 75, line 27, at end to insert: (“ .—(1) Save as hereinafter provided a person is not entitled to enter on access land at night with a dog or to be on access land at night with a dog unless prevented from leaving it by unforeseen circumstances. (2) Sub-paragraph (1) above does not apply—(a) where the land has been designated by the appropriate countryside body as suitable for access at night with dogs; and any such designation may impose such conditions or limitations as appear to be appropriate; or (b) to dogs which are on the land for some necessary or useful purposes, such as search or rescue. (3) In this paragraph, “night” means the period from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Luke (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
