Lords division · 11 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Jenkin of Roding, in Clause 9, page 7, line 26, at end to insert:(“(c) to secure a diverse and viable long-term energy supply;”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 3 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (134)

Not Contents (131)

Tellers (4)
