Lords division · 19 Nov 2001 · No. 1

Human Rights Act 1998 (Designated Derogation) Order 2001

It was moved by the Lord McNally, as an amendment to the motion by the Lord Rooker that the Order (S.I. 2001/3644) laid before the House on 12th November be approved, to leave out all the words after “That” and insert “this House declines to approve the Order (S.I. 2001/3644) laid before the House on 12th November until the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill has received the Royal Assent”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 79

Contents: 69 Not Contents: 148

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 79 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 Dholakia (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (67)

Not Contents (146)
