Lords division · 19 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, in Clause 12, page 14, line 2, to leave out (“it appears to him”) and insert (“are”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 57

Contents: 64 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 57 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 Lucas (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
