Lords division · 18 May 2000 · No. 3

Financial Services and Markets Bill

It was moved by the Lord Saatchi, after Clause 153, to insert the new Clause (Market abuse: behaviour conforming with City Code); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 38

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 106

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 38 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 Bach (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (142)

Not Contents (104)
