Lords division · 12 Jul 2000 · No. 4

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill

It was moved by the Viscount Astor, in Clause 13, page 15, line 12, to leave out (“may, if he thinks fit,”) and insert (“shall”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 131 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 12 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Conservative 90
Liberal Democrat 27

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 (129)

Not Contents (117)
