Lords division · 15 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Postal Services Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, in Clause 68, page 42, line 32, after (“rates”) insert (“(being not less than the commercial rates generally payable in the financial markets at the time of making the loans)”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 85 Not Contents: 139

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 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 Carter (Not Content), Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Not Content).
