Lords division · 11 Jul 2000 · No. 3

Postal Services Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, after Clause 67, to insert the new Clause (Notifiable transactions); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 87

Contents: 103 Not Contents: 190

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 87 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).

Every vote

Contents (101)
