Lords division · 12 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Financial Services and Markets Bill

It was moved by the Lord Alexander of Weedon, as an amendment to Commons amendment 180A, line 8, at end to insert: (“and such provision may specify that behaviour conforming with the City Code is behaviour which is considered by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers as conforming with the City Code”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 183 Not Contents: 188

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