Lords division · 21 Jun 2000 · No. 2

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 83, page 81, line 18, at end to insert: (“( ) In paragraph 12 (failure to notify connection or disconnection of service pipe), in sub-paragraph (1) after “meter” in both places where it occurs there is inserted “or gas device”. ( ) In paragraph 13 (failure to notify disconnection of meter)—(a) in sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) after “meter” in each place where it occurs there is inserted “or gas device”, and (b) after sub-paragraph (4) there is inserted— “(5) In this paragraph and in paragraph 12, “gas device” means any device other than a meter forming part of or used in conjunction with the metering installation at any premises.””); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 70

Contents: 44 Not Contents: 114

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 70 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 Astor of Hever (Content), Earl of Northesk (Content), Lord Burlison (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).
