ABSTENTIONS ON DIVISION ON THE COMMONHOLD AND LEASEHOLD REFORM BILL

Early day motion 979, tabled 11 March 2002 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 3 members.

That this House notes that there is no procedure for the recording of abstentions on divisions but that the honourable Members signing this motion abstained on the division on Amendment 2 proposed to the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill because whereas the Bill failed to propose a simple majority vote for the establishment of commonhold, the Amendment also set too high a threshold at 75 per cent.

Signatures by party: Labour 3.
