Lords division · 23 Jan 2001 · No. 1

Procedure of the House

It was moved by the Lord Rodgers of Quarry Bank, as an amendment to the motion, That the First Report from the Select Committee be agreed to, at end to insert "except for item 1"; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 130 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 2 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost. This was not a whipped vote, so no party line applied.

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 Denham (Content), Baroness Thomas of Walliswood (Content), Lord Dubs (Not Content), Lord Graham of Edmonton (Not Content).
