Lords division · 27 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish, in Clause 69, page 54, line 42, at end insert: (“(6) The Secretary of State may by order make provision for exempting from inclusion in the register maintained by the Commission under this section any specified details in respect of donations to parties registered in the Northern Ireland register. (7) An order under subsection (6) shall be so made as to—(a) apply to the specified details in respect of donations to every Northern Ireland party, and (b) make the same provision with respect to every such party. (8) In this section—“Northern Ireland party” means a party registered in the Northern Ireland register; “specified” means specified in an order under subsection (6).”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 19

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 19 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 (146)

Not Contents (165)

Tellers (4)
