Lords division · 5 Jul 2000 · No. 4

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 77, page 79, line 3, at end to insert (“having regard to any guidelines drawn up by the Authority from time to time in consultation with gas transporters and to the provisions of section 7(8)(b)”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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