Lords division · 13 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 9, page 6, line 17, to leave out (“, having regard”) and insert (“and, subject to the principal objective, the Secretary of State and the Authority shall carry out those functions in the manner which he or it considers is best calculated”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 79

Contents: 59 Not Contents: 138

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 79 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), Lord Luke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (57)

Not Contents (136)
