Lords division · 22 Feb 2000 · No. 2

Greater London Authority (Election Expenses) Order 2000

It was moved by the Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish that an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the Rules be annulled; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 63

Contents: 206 Not Contents: 143

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 63 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Harris of Greenwich (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
