Lords division · 27 Mar 2000 · No. 2

Financial Services and Markets Bill

It was moved by the Lord Saatchi in Clause 146, page 68, line 6, after (“2;”) to insert: (“( ) a statement of the extent to which the Authority has taken into account the matters in section 2(3) in making the proposed rules;”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 46 Not Contents: 112

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 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), Lord Luke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Not Content).
