Division 129 · 24 January 2017

Wales Bill: Lords Amendment 36 - Amdt (a)

Government Bill

What this vote was about

This vote concerned the Wales Bill, which devolved further powers to the Welsh Assembly (now Senedd). A Government amendment from the Lords (Amendment 36) would devolve to Wales the power to set the maximum stake on some gaming machines. Labour tabled a further change to it, amendment (a), which would have gone further by cutting the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals to £2 (down from £100). This vote was on Labour's amendment (a), which the Government opposed; it was rejected by 281 votes to 170, so the lower £2 stake was not written in at this point.
