Lords division · 27 Nov 2000 · No. 2

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish, after Clause 69, to insert the new Clause (Tax relief on political donations); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 63

Contents: 199 Not Contents: 136

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 63 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Goodhart (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (197)

Not Contents (134)

Tellers (4)
