Lords division · 5 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 20, page 16, line 1, to leave out from first (“complaints”) to (“to”) in line 4 and insert (“means complaints made directly”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 67

Contents: 87 Not Contents: 154

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 67 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), Lord Burnham (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
