Lords division · 6 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Transport Bill

It was moved by the Lord Brabazon of Tara, in Clause 5, page 4, line 12, at end to insert (“and the legal and beneficial ownership of a majority of shares carrying voting rights in such a company, and the control of such a company, is vested in a person who is a British citizen. ( ) For the purposes of this section references to “control” shall be interpreted in accordance with section 840 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and the expression “controlled” shall be construed accordingly.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 96

Contents: 31 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 96 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), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Bach (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
