Lords division · 12 Jul 2000 · No. 2

Government Resources and Accounts Bill

It was moved by the Viscount Bridgeman, in Clause 8, page 5, line 31, to leave out (“of a government department’s accounts”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 124 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 2 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: Baroness Hanham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Bach (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).

Every vote
