Lords division · 27 Nov 2000 · No. 4

Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Bill

It was moved by the Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts, in Schedule 9, page 169, line 17, to leave out (“£30,000”) and insert (“£20,000”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 64 Not Contents: 134

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 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 Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Content), Lord Rennard (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (62)

Not Contents (132)
