Lords division · 30 Nov 2000 · No. 1

Disqualifications Bill

It was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley, as an amendment to the motion of the Lord Falconer of Thoroton, that the House do not insist on its Amendment 1 to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 1A, to leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 158

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 22 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).
