Lords division · 11 Jul 2000 · No. 2

Utilities Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Schedule 1, page 120, line 8, at end to insert: (“( ) Before making any appointments to the Authority, the Secretary of State shall seek and take account of the opinion of the Trade and Industry Select Committee of the House of Commons.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 78

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 184

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 78 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 Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
