Lords division · 6 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Terrorism Bill

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, after Clause 95, to insert the new Clause (Detention of terrorists); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 73

Contents: 83 Not Contents: 156

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 73 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Lord Redesdale (Not Content).
