Lords division · 9 Mar 2000 · No. 1

Local Government Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Dixon-Smith, before Clause 9 to insert the new Clause (Local authority to decide whether to introduce electoral arrangements); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 62

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 82

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 62 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 Tope (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
