Lords division · 13 Apr 2000 · No. 1

Financial Services and Markets Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Schedule 1, page 231, line 8, to leave out sub-paragraph (4) and insert: (“(4) In a case where the investigator—(a) has reported that a complaint is well-founded, or (b) has criticised the Authority in his report, the investigator may include in his report a recommendation to the Authority that it takes steps to remedy the matter complained of including, if appropriate, by making an ex-gratia payment.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 124 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 5 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (122)

Not Contents (117)

Tellers (4)
