Lords division · 9 Mar 2000 · No. 2

Local Government Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Hamwee, after Clause 16, to insert the new Clause (Implementation of decisions by a local authority under executive arrangements); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 76

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 3 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: Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Content), Lord Tope (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
