Lords division · 25 Oct 2001 · No. 1

International Development Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Elton in Clause 1, page 1, line 5, at beginning to insert “Subject to section (Restriction on the provision of assistance),”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 82

Contents: 67 Not Contents: 149

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 82 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: Baroness Cox (Content), Lord Hylton (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (65)

Not Contents (147)
