Lords division · 20 Mar 2001 · No. 3

Weights and Measures (Metrication Amendments) Regulations 2001

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, that an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the Regulations, laid before this House on 17th January, be annulled (S.I. 2001/85); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 39

Contents: 76 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 39 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), Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Not Content).
