Lords division · 18 Jan 2000 · No. 1

Kent County Council Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Thomson of Monifieth that the bill be now read a third time; then it was moved by the Viscount Astor, as an amendment thereto, to leave out (now”) and at the end insert (this day six months”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 14

Contents: 33 Not Contents: 47

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 14 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: Viscount Astor (Content), Lord Lucas (Content), Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Not Content), The Lord Thomson of Monifieth (Not Content).
