Lords division · 25 Jan 2000 · No. 2

Local Government Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Hamwee, in Clause 3, page 2, line 30, to leave out subsection (2); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 24

Contents: 84 Not Contents: 108

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 24 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), Lord Harris of Haringey (Not Content).
