Lords division · 24 Jul 2001 · No. 2

British Overseas Territories Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Rawlings in Clause 7, page 3, line 14, at end to insert: “( ) The provisions of this Act shall not come into force, in a qualifying territory, until such a time as it has been ratified by that territory.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 63

Contents: 60 Not Contents: 123

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 63 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 Redesdale (Not Content).
