Lords division · 27 Jun 2000 · No. 3

Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Bill

It was moved by the Lord Windlesham, in Clause 63, page 65, line 11, to leave out from beginning to (“that”) and insert (“a court makes a determination”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 170 Not Contents: 116

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 54 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Harris of Greenwich (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (168)
