Lords division · 5 Jul 2000 · No. 2

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Schedule 4, page 129, line 16, at end to insert (“; or(c) in the case of emergency, inspecting, repairing or re-installing any electricity meter”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 35

Contents: 87 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 35 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 Burnham (Content), Baroness Hanham (Content), Lord Bach (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).
