Lords division · 25 Oct 2001 · No. 2

International Development Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Rawlings, in Clause 20, page 9, line 2, at end to insert: “( ) The Secretary of State may not appoint a date under subsection (2) until a bill to give effect to the Convention on Combating the Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions is introduced into either House of Parliament.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 52

Contents: 55 Not Contents: 107

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
