| Outcome | Comments
|
| 9 January 2001
12.57 am
| Motion to approve appointment of Electoral Commissioners
| Inquorate division |
Attempt to frustrate debate (any division on the motion would be deferred so Government Members were not whipped to be present).
|
| 27 February 2001
1.55 am
| Motion to amend standing orders relating to the voting of estimates
| Negatived | As above.
|
| 13 March 2001
10.46 pm
| Between Orders of the Day
| Negatived | Probably to prevent motion being moved during later debate (a ten o'clock motion had just been passed and a number of motions—on which divisions would be deferred if not agreed on the nod, so Government Members did not need to be kept in the House—were to be debated late into the evening).
|
| 2 May 2001 | Private bill
| Negatived | Probably an attempt by opponents to have the Bill stood over, similarly to a private Member's bill.
|
| 4 December 2001
12.51 am
| Business of the House motion relating to the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill
| Agreed to | Motion agreed to, apparently by mistake. Consequently successful as an attempt to frustrate debate.
|
| 16 March 2004
7.16 pm
| Immediately before consideration of Lords Message relating to Lords Amendments to the European Parliamentary Elections (Pilots) Bill
| Negatived | Moved by the Opposition Chief Whip, probably part of an Opposition campaign against the Bill.
|
| 22 April 2004 | Immediately before a debate on the installation of a security screen in the Chamber
| Negatived | A genuine attempt to have the House sit in private for that debate.
|
| 11 May 2004 | Motion on visitor facilities
| Negatived | Again an attempt to have the House sit in private for the debate.
|
| 27 October 2004 | Immediately following a debate on the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill
| Negatived | Apparently part of a row over a statement which the Home Secretary had promised to make on Third Reading of the Bill but which he did not have the opportunity of making because the knife fell before Third Reading was reached.
|
| 14 March 2013 | During the final half-hour adjournment debate
| Negatived | Moved at the end of the adjournment debate, just before the adjournment of the House, to delay the adjournment and thereby extend the deadline for tabling amendments to the Crime and Courts Bill [Lords] during the discussions on the implementation of the Leveson proposals on press regulation. (In the event the Speaker selected manuscript amendments anyway.)
