Lords division · 24 Jul 2001 · No. 1

British Overseas Territories Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Rawlings, after Clause 5, to insert the new Clause (Cost of claiming citizenship); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 55

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 124

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 55 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), Lord Filkin (Not Content).
