Lords division · 25 Jan 2000 · No. 1

Local Government Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Peyton of Yeovil, in Clause 2, page 1, line 18, to leave out (they consider”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 42

Contents: 84 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 42 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 Henley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (82)

Not Contents (124)
